    Pumpkin Chili that’s a Fall Family and Cook-Off Favorite

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on October 6, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Soup

    Do you need a delicious and creative way to use up some cans in your pantry? Look no further than this naturally dairy-free, gluten-free pumpkin chili. It’s been a chili cook-off winner at numerous events, and has a uniquely addictive flavor. It was originally submitted by Teresa to Allrecipes.com, but we’ve adapted it a little over the years.

    Pumpkin Chili that’s a Family and Cook-Off Favorite

    The pumpkin helps to thicken the chili just a bit, and adds a creamy texture with just a hint of pumpkin flavor. It’s enhanced by the warm spices. If you don’t have any pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can substitute 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or allspice.

    I’ve included a couple of options with this recipe. You can make the “sweet chili” version, my favorite with a hint of sweetness, or go completely savory. Each way is wonderful. And you can adjust the heat to taste, for a mild “family-friendly” chili or a kicked-up spicy chili.

    This unique chili is full-flavored and delicious, but on the mild side. You can use a spicy chili powder, add more chili powder, or add cayenne pepper if you want a spicy chili.
