Pumpkin Chili
Description
Pumpkin Chili pairs ground beef sautéed with onions and bell pepper, combined in a slow cooker with beans, tomatoes, pumpkin puree, and a blend of chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon. The slow cooking process allows the spices and pumpkin to enrich the savory base, giving the chili a subtle sweetness and a smooth texture.
The chili can be served topped with common chili additions such as cheese, sour cream, or crispy tortilla strips, adding contrast in texture and creaminess to the warm stew.
Nutrition information offered is approximate; actual values vary by ingredient brands and toppings. Adjust chili powder to taste if more heat is desired and season with salt and pepper accordingly.
