Comforting Weeknight Pumpkin Chili for Cozy Evenings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 can Canned Beans (e.g., kidney beans or black beans.)
  • 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.)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until they become soft and fragrant, around 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin purée, canned beans, cumin, chili powder, and broth. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for at least 20 minutes while stirring occasionally.
