I love chili.

I LOVE chili.

I LOVE CHILI.

I’m sitting here nomming down a bowl of last night’s pumpkin keto chili for breakfast. Why? Because it’s delicious. Spicy, sweet, and it tastes like October. Also, I have a nasty cold and P was lovely enough to follow the recipe I wrote up for this keto pumpkin chili last week.

Don’t worry, adding pumpkin to your keto chili doesn’t make it sweet, and with the spices, I’ve added, it won’t make it taste overwhelmingly pumpkin-y – just enough. It makes it creamy, rich, and thick yet slurpy enough at all the right ratios.

As of right now, this recipe makes approximately 12 very filling servings. Chili always tastes better the next day, which is why I opted for a larger batch.
