Clean Eating Pumpkin Chili
Fall begs for healthy and easy stove top recipes like this main dish. Use ground beef, turkey, buffalo, or venison in this crockpot friendly dinner. Gluten free soups and low carb stews are always my go-tos when it gets cold and this spicy chili is no exception. Adding a little fresh produce like bell pepper, onion, and canned or fresh pumpkin bumps up the nutritional content too! Kids and adults alike will love this chili!
