Chili is the ultimate comfort food for fall! It signals cool weather, family gatherings and football. This recipe is even more reminiscent of fall because it includes pumpkin. This adds a nice mild sweetness that pairs well with the spices found in chili. The thing that really makes a good chili, though, is the beans. A variety of beans adds textural interest to the dish and a ton of heart- healthy fiber, plus plant-based protein. The combination of the two in addition to the pumpkin flavor are sure to leave you feeling satisfied—both in your tummy and in your soul! If you’re looking for a little extra nutrition boost, try swapping out sour cream for plain 2% Greek yogurt as a topping, adding protein and probiotics.
