I wanted to share the pumpkin Paleo chili with you because it came out so yummy. I based it on my chili in Paleo Chocolate Lovers. I hope you love it too!
Happy fall eating!

This looks delicious! I’m on the 21DSD right now, but if I don’t add the honey, I can totally have it! And I’m definitely in the mood for all things pumpkin at the moment, so thank you for the inspiration!

I often put sweet potatoes in my chili, but I like the idea of doing pumpkin puree to really get the flavor incorporated in the whole dish. This sounds like a lovely mix of sweet and savory tastes.

Yummy, I love all the onions in this recipe, (just not cutting them up), going to make it for sure, thanks so much!

Just made this tonight! Everyone loved it!!! Used ground chicken instead. So so yummy and easy. The kids and in laws thought it was brilliant!

I made this tonight and it was really good! I used 2 lbs of ground turkey though!

This is such a flavorful chili! Simply great comfort food! Quick, easy, hearty. I have made this several times using 1 lb of ground turkey. We are 100% paleo and love this site for coconut flour recipes… and we love Elana’s too!!! I am so glad you two are friends, your site compliment each other! Thanks a bunch!

Love the sound of this!! I’m currently renting an apt in Malaysia for a month and pumpkin is sooo cheap here – I’m talk $1 for a medium-large pumpkin so I’ve been looking up tons of pumpkin recipes as it’s not something I usually cook with. I’m definitely making this for dinner soon (just using ground pork instead of the ground turkey as that’s what I have on hand)! Also if I can ask you for a quick favor — if it’s allowed if you could add me to the http://www.pinterest.com/amys_ssgf/gluten-free-pumpkin-recipes/ board (my account is http://www.pinterest.com/acoupletraveler/ ) I would really appreciate it : ) If not, no big deal.

I made this tonight and it is amazing! It is, for sure, going into rotation!!
Tamara says
When you say “chili spice” do you mean a blend of spices specifically for making chili as opposed to the spice ground chili? If it is a blend. Can you ease list the ingredients of the blend.
Kelly says
Correct. My jar of chili powder says it has ground chilis, cumin, oregano, coriander, garlic, allspice, and cloves.

I just have to comment that I’ve made this about 10 times so far. It’s been one of our favorites ever since I came across your blog. Thank you!
Robyn says
Has anyone tried this recipe with grass fed beef? Thanks!
Jennie says
Do you think this would work in a crockpot?
Kelly says
Probably, but I haven’t tried. 🙂
Nat says
I made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! Next time I will probably leave out the honey as it was actually quite sweet. But overall, amazing recipe.
Regelyn says
That was delicious. My compliments to the chef!
