Pumpkin Chili Recipe + Video
Description
The recipe begins by browning ground meat with chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, building a savory base with a smoky heat. Pumpkin puree and hard cider add moisture and a subtle sweetness that balances the spice blend of chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon. Kidney beans and chicken broth provide body and richness to the chili, while bay leaves add an herbal nuance.
Simmering the chili allows the flavors to meld and thicken into a robust dish. Sour cream and chopped cilantro or red onion are optional toppings that add freshness and creaminess. This chili can be served on its own or with bread and pairs well with hearty sides.
The recipe notes suggest storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheating thoroughly before serving.
