Steps:
- Put the ancho and guajillo chiles in a medium saucepan with the beef broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from the heat and allow to sit until softened, about 15 minutes. Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles and place the chiles in a blender along with the beef stock. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, until the beef is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chile puree, beef, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and can easily be cut with a fork, about 1 hour.
- Add the butternut squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, Cheddar and cilantro.

BEEF & BUTTERNUT "CHILI" (EARLIER STAGES OF SCD)
Early in the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, my kid's tummy still can't handle many different ingredients. Certainly no beans or tomatoes yet. This is one of my creations from the ingredients that sit well. This flavorful aromatic dish is quite different than "chili" but it makes a delicious, warm bowl of comfort food. ...

Steps:
- 1. Add a few Tbsp. light flavored olive oil or cooking oil in the bottom of an 8 quart Instant Pot. Place ingredients into the Instant Pot in given order. Add 1/4 cup water. (If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can simmer on the stove, adding water as necessary, until the beef is tender. If you aren't in a rush, you can brown the onions and/or beef first, for extra flavor. If you don't need the green beans super soft, you can add them closer to the end.)
- 2. Pressure cook, high, 22 minutes. Manual steam release.
- 3. Serve in bowls with toppings. Enjoy! (My kid enjoyed this bowl with cheese & avocado.)
- 4. Note: If in the U.S., and following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for IBD, ground/powdered spices should either be ground yourself or come from a trusted company that has verified they don't contain any anti-caking agents or processing aides. I currently use both Penzeys and McCormick brands. Remember that companies can change formulas & procedures, so pay close attention to labels & check in with the company for things not listed on labels, when stocking your spices. Make sure they understand the information is for a serious medical condition, that many sugars used as processing aides and certain anti-caking agents can cause flares & serious medical repercussions...because U.S. labeling laws give lots of loop holes on what is counted as an ingredient that needs to be listed.
