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.

I wasn’t sure how this was gonna turn out, I had never made a chili with pumpkin before. The pumpkin blended perfectly with the tomato juice and gave it a unique texture that I have never had before. I am a chili love, often compete in chili cookoffs at my church. This was probably in my top 3 favorite recipes for chili.

Wow! This was so good! Admittedly, I’m usually not a fan of pumpkin chili- but the flavor of this would win cookoffs easily! Thank you Amanda! I halved it for the household and it still came out perfect; other than that, followed everything to a T- great recipe!
