Can you cook this recipe on low for 8 hrs? This recipe uses broth, water is not required. I decided to make this at the last minute to use up a butternut squash and poblano pepper in my fridge Didn’t have Great Northern beans, so used 2 cans of black beans. Also didn’t have red bell pepper, so added 1 cup of frozen corn for variety. Used veggie stock to make this meatless for Lent. The squash gives it a slight sweet flavor.

Served with some shredded Monterey Jack cheese and tortilla chips. Can you substitute the great northern beans out for red lentils?
