No-Bean Chili
This pumpkin chili recipe is spicy and full of seasonal flavor. We’ve got canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and freshly grated nutmeg. This is a meaty chili – no beans here; just ground meat and vegetables. The great thing about pumpkin is that it’s a blank canvas in terms of flavor. While it doesn’t have much flavor on its own, it carries flavor really well. The purpose of adding pumpkin to this chili is to add a little thickness to the dish. Plus, you get all the benefits that come with eating pumpkin (fiber, vitamin A and potassium, just to name a few things).
Pumpkin Chilli
I think chili is one of my favorite things to eat this time of year. I make a batch nearly every week. It’s easy to make and fills the house with the best aroma! Plus, chili is a recipe that both Roby (my hubby) and I enjoy. I know Roby genuinely likes this recipe because whenever I pack this for his lunch, he never “forgets” to take it with him (FYI – he’s the kind of guy who prefers take-out to home-cooked food… I don’t get it.). The first time I made this, I wasn’t sure what he’d think of pumpkin chili because it’s different from my usual recipe – but he absolutely loved it! If you’re looking for a new chili recipe to make this season, I hope you try this! Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
