- 1 can Pumpkin Purée (Can be swapped with canned butternut squash purée.)
- 1 lb Ground Beef (Feel free to use ground turkey or a meat alternative.)

- 1 large Onion (Fresh, frozen, or onion powder can be used.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced, crushed, or fresh.)
- 1 tbsp Cumin (Adjust based on desired warmth.)
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder (Increase or decrease based on spice tolerance.)
- 3 cups Vegetable or Beef Broth (Low-sodium versions are available.)
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
