For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeno pepper along with the other ingredients. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can substitute 1 (15 ounce) can of pumpkin puree, but the texture will be slightly different. Serve with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or tortilla chips.

Dec 31, 2022The pumpkin adds a subtle sweetness that's not overpowering. It's a great twist on traditional chili.
