HOW TO MAKE pumpkin CHILI on the stove

This Pumpkin Chili recipe is very simple to make in just a few easy steps.  After sautéing the meat and veggies, the chili is simmered to meld the flavors – no extra time or skills required than that! I’ve outlined the steps below (or skip to the printable recipe card with measurements at the bottom of the post).

STEP 1:  BROWN The MEAT

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and sausage and cook until browned.  Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

STEP 2:  SAUTÉ VEGGIES

Add the onions, sweet potato and bell peppers and cook until softened. Add the garlic and seasonings and cook for about 1 minute to bloom the flavors. Add all remaining Chili Ingredients and give them a stir.

STEP 3:  Add chili ingredients

Stir in all the remaining chili ingredients (you can start with less broth if it doesn’t fit).

STEP 4:  simmer

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce to heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, and replacing the lid, until the flavors meld and the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

STEP 5:  Serve

Serve with topping such as cheese, sour cream, avocado and cilantro if desired.
