Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Step 1: Combine Ingredients (5 minutes). In a slow cooker, combine the chicken, butternut squash, red beans, hominy, chicken broth, salsa, beer, and Mexican oregano.

02

Step
7 hrs 30 mins

Step 2: Slow Cook (7 hours 30 minutes/3 hours 30 minutes). Cover and cook on Low for 7 1/2 hours or on High for 3 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is tender.

03

Step
30 mins

Step 3: Add Cream and Finish (30 minutes). Stir in the heavy whipping cream. Cover and continue cooking on Low or High for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

04

Step
5 mins

Step 4: Serve (5 minutes). Ladle into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, green onions, and/or cilantro, if desired.

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add another can of beans or vegetables.
Spice it up by using a hotter salsa or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If you don't have Mexican oregano, regular oregano will work in a pinch.
To make it ahead, prepare through step 2, cool slightly, then refrigerate. Reheat in the slow cooker or on the stovetop before adding the cream.
