Whew! Can we talk about all the fabulosity in this chili now? It has PUMPKIN in it. And PUMPKIN PIE SPICE. Capital letters mean I’m EXCITED. No, this doesn’t taste like pumpkin pie. You’re more than welcome to gulp down a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie while you’re cooking if that’s what you’re going for. It has all those warm and fuzzy fall flavors, not to mention that it’s packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants! You’ll feel much less guilty about the bucket of chicken wings you ate after a bowl full of this hearty goodness. I pinky promise that this chili will totally get the stamp of approval from your carnivornous husband/boyfriend/cat/roommate/bestie. If you want to go all out, top it with a dash of hot sauce and some freshly grated cheddar cheese. If you have leftover spicy cashew mayo that’s dying to be used as a chili topper, that would be insanely unreal. Consider this tailgate ELEVATED. Print
