My Family Circle Chili goes Slow!

I adapted this slow cook item at my dental office that said, "do me"! Since I am using my crock to it fullest, (three to four times a week) why not?

2 T olive oil
2 lg onions, chopped
2 T sofrito
1 package sazon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 butternut squash seeded, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green pepper
1/2 sweet red, orange, and yellow peppers, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 14.5 oz stewed tomatoes
4 tsp ancho chili powder
2 tsp cumin,
1 tsp salt
2 15 ozs black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese
 2 scallions, sliced

In a skillet, saute onions, sofrito, and sazon for 4 minutes in olive oil
Add green pepper, squash cook 2 minutes
Add garlic, jalapeno, chili for 1 minute
Pour into crock and add tomatoes, cumin, salt
Cover and cook on high for five hours
Add beans and sweet red and yellow peppers during the last 30 minutes

Just got response function going!
You are a chef in the blood.
Now, if you have a friend that don't eat meat, you do this recipe.
Or divide in two, and add a pound of sauteed, cubed chuck or ground beef to one half.
No problem mon!
