Hello, hello!
It’s Fall this week!! And I’ve been loving these chilly days so I thought it was a great time for a super quick weeknight recipe! Chili! It’s very easy and just about everyone will like it.
When this time of year hit’s I immediately make chili. But this one is new for me. Usually I go right for the usual red sauce recipe (which is always a great go-to). This is another savory pumpkin recipe was just what the chilly day called for. This recipe is from “Skinny Taste Fast & Slow” by Gina Homolka. These are my absolute favorite cookbooks (I’ve linked them on Amazon).
The only different thing I did with this recipe as opposed to the one in her cookbook is that I didn’t do mine in the slow cooker, I made mine on the stovetop and let it cook for a while.
what you do:
If you aren’t using a crockpot, then simply add in your oil, onion and garlic and let simmer until your kitchen smells really fantastic. Then, brown your meat. Throw everything else in after that. I let mine cook for about an hour and a half.
If you are using a crockpot, do the same thing with oil, onion, garlic and meat. Then throw everything else in. Cook on high for four hours or low for eight.
To finish, top with grated Parmesan and fresh sage.
This recipe is the perfect way to enjoy some pumpkin flavors on a chilly (almost) Fall day!
