This pumpkin chili is not only hearty but healthy! It’s both paleo and whole30 compliant. Yay, slow cooker season is officially here!
It’s autumn. Can I start with the pumpkin recipes now?? This is the first of three pumpkin recipes coming this week. After that, I’ll try to restrain myself I promise.

I LOVE chili. As you can probably tell from all chili recipes I have on this blog. I eat it year-round even when if it’s 90 degrees outside. As I’ve said over and over, chili is the perfect slow cooker recipe. You can use your preferred ground meat whether it be ground chicken, pork, beef or turkey. I used 2 pounds of ground chicken from my monthly Milk & Eggs order. I browned my meat it first but it’s not necessary just an optional step.

For this recipe, do need to add in any water?
I didn’t use any water. I’f wait until you see the final consistency before adding any in. For me, the tomatoes & pumpkin cooked down enough. BUT I could see how maybe someone would think it was too think. If you end up adding water, it won’t be much maybe 1/4 cup max. The pics you see here are from no water used. Let me know how it turns out!
This looks AMAZING there’s not a thing I don’t like about this recipe: sweet potatos and pumpkin are two of my favourite thing, I only wish I had a slow cooker 🙁 But I’ll try this anyway 😀 So tasty
Fall is here, no doubt! Im going to make this, and then freeze it for days when I dont want to cook. Great suggestion!
I love chili, but I don’t think I ever had it with pumpkin. Will give this recipe a try soon, looks delicious!
This sounds fantastic! I wonder if I could get my picky kids to try it!
One question – I eat vegetarian – could this be done without beef or any kind of meat?
This looks absolutely wonderful! my family would love it!
This looks so delicious, I am gonna try this recipe. We love eating chili as well.
