Fall Chili Twists
One of my favorite things about cool weather is making and serving soup. It’s easy to whip up and it’s all in one pan to get everyone hot. Who can resist a hot bowl of soup after a cold day?
Pumpkin and fall go together perfectly, and I love trying new and delicious ways to serve pumpkin. This pumpkin chili is a hit with everyone in my family. It’s nice and thick thanks to all the veggies and two meats.
The pumpkin puree gives it a rich, tangy flavor and balances the acidity of the tomatoes. Of course, it’s full of vitamins and antioxidants, so it also makes peppers more nutritious.

Making this chili is so easy, the prep can even be done during the day or the night before.
meat and vegetables. After chopping the vegetables, you brown some ground beef and pork sausage in the stockpot. When the meat is no longer pink, add the onion and green pepper and sauté for a few minutes.
Dump, boil, simmer. All you have to do after that is to pour in the rest of the ingredients and bring the peppers to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the peppers have thickened. If you need to add more liquid, you can add some extra beef broth.
It’s that simple!
Tips and Toppings:
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Here are some of our favorites:
- sour cream
- grated cheese
- , and chopped green onions. I think nachos are delicious too.
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to five days. If you need to store it longer, you can freeze it. I like to freeze soups in freezer ziplock bags. Make sure it’s completely cool before you scoop it into the bag.
If all you’ve ever tried is a sweet pumpkin recipe, I hope you’ll try this pumpkin chili. It might become a fall staple in your house!
