Description
A hearty and warming keto-friendly chili that combines the richness of ground beef with the subtle sweetness of pumpkin, perfect for a low-carb comfort meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 can diced tomatoes, no added sugar
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Use a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks.
- Add the diced onion to the pot with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Make sure to mix well so that the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the chili to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it cook for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the chili is too thick, add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro if desired.
