Not only was this recipe called the best paleo pumpkin chili, but it also had some raving reviews, so I had to give it a try. Glad I did because this turned out just as tasty as it smells! I didn't get too much sense of pumpkin while eating this, but it was still very comforting, flavorful, and delicious. Plus, super easy to whip up in the Instant Pot! There are also stovetop directions if you don't have an Instant Pot. Now we aren't big soup people in this house and we've been experimenting with making meals low fod-map, so I left the broth out of this one, along with the onions and garlic. I also tripled the recipe below and it completely filled my 8 quart Instant Pot, so there was no room for anything else anyways. The original recipe said they made this with a combo of ground beef and ground turkey, but I went all ground beef this time. Paired this with spaghetti squash because it's super easy and a great "pasta" substitute. I also love boiling up some Sweet Potato Glass Noodles or Rice Noodles as a quick carb option and another "pasta" substitute. Serving this over roasted sweet potatoes would also be super delicious and comforting too. We enjoyed eating this one all week long and will definitely be making again soon!
