Description

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 5-8 garlic cloves, sliced (I love garlic so I used 8)
• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
• 2 cups cubed pumpkin (see how to cut and peel a pumpkin here)
• 2 cans kidney beans, washed {replace with 3 cups cubed acorn squash for paleo and AIP}
• 2 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1/2 can pumpkin puree
• 1 can beets, pureed (can be chunky)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon rosemary salt
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (ACV)
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper {omit for AIP}
• 1/4 teaspoon all-spice {replace with cloves for AIP}
• sprinkle of cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When its hot, add the garlic and sauté until it has just started to brown.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the ground beef. Cook the ground beef until no pink remains.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the pumpkin cubes, kidney beans (or acorn squash), beef broth, pumpkin puree, beet puree, rosemary salt, ACV, oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, all-spice, cloves, and bay leaf to the Dutch oven. Stir until evenly combined.
• Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro, stir, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin cubes are tender.
• Serve and top with shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, or your other favorite chili toppings!
• (To make this in a slow cooker: Complete steps 1 and 2, then add all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours.)
