Chili Squash Boats
Low carb, with a paleo option, these Chili Squash Boats are a wonderful way to make a meal out of leftover chili.
A great way to use up left over chili. I always make a large batch of chili, and then have this the next day for lunch. A really simple, fast meal when you have leftover chili.
