Pumpkin Chili with Ground Beef

Ulric Williams

Report

This pumpkin chili is hearty, comforting, made with the perfect combination of cozy spices and is best served with all the toppings! (Hello sour cream, cheese and avocado!) And I know you're thinking it...does it actually taste like pumpkin?! It's subtle. You probably wouldn't even know it's in there, it simply adds a sweet, earthy flavor that I know you'll love.
