This slow cooker pumpkin chili is one of my favorite fall dishes. It’s is easy, delicious, and makes the house smell heavenly. All you need to do is brown the meat, saute the onions, and add the rest of the ingredients. This crockpot pumpkin chili is great with your favorite toppings or on top of a sweet potato, salad, or your favorite chips. We are big fans of Siete grain-free chips and the kids love to eat it this way. The pumpkin naturally thickens the chili and gives it a great velvety texture. It is naturally gluten-free, Whole 30, and Paleo. This delicious pumpkin chili is a hit and on regular rotation in our home and I am sure it will be in yours as well.
