“Oh dear Lord, not another Paleo chili recipe!” I know. You’ve seen tens if not hundreds of chili recipes and you’ve probably eaten it that many times too. You’re probably sick of it. But, please, let us explain…
Making this spice mixture yourself is the key to the unique flavor of this chili. No chili seasoning packets allowed beyond this point! We took our chili “base” and pumped it up with some fresh pumpkin (canned would work beautifully, as well). Then for le pièce de résistance, we conjured up the avocado cream–it’s like guacamole, but not, all at the same time. It’s an unexpected, quirky, refreshing boost of flavor that kicks the chili up a level.
Ingredients
For the Chili
2 lbs ground beef
1 large yellow onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 sugar pumpkin, diced (about 3 cups) or a 14 oz can of pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie)
1 (28 oz) can diced, fire roasted tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (7 oz) can diced, roasted green chilies
1 c chicken or beef stock
FOC (fat of choice)
S&P
Chili Spice Mixture
2 T chili powder
2 T cumin
1 T paprika
2 t salt
2 t coriander
2 t cinnamon
2 t cocoa powder
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t cayenne
Orange, Coriander Avocado Cream
2 avocados
zest of 1 orange
juice of 2 oranges
1 t coriander
1/2 t salt
Method
For the Chili
Heat a large soup pot over medium high heat with a tablespoon of your F.O.C. Add the beef and let it brown. Try not to stir it too much until you get some color on one side but make sure you break up the pieces. This should take 5-8 minutes.
While you’re browning your beef make your spice mixture. In a medium bowl, mix up all the spices.
We like to brown the beef first so we can use the fat that renders out to cook the vegetables. So, using a slotted spoon remove the beef and place in the spice mixture bowl…leaving the fat in the pot. Add your diced onion and garlic. Let those two saute for a few minutes (3-4) stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened. Add your diced or canned pumpkin.
Cover and cook about another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pumpkin begins to get tender (check with a fork). Add the rest of ingredients and the beef/spice mixture. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer to let all the flavors “meld”. When you’re happy with the texture, you’re done.
For the Cream
Add all ingredients to a bowl or a food processor and blend until smooth.

November 10, 2010 at 10:21 pmJust made the chili but used elk burger instead of ground beef and used 1 cup puree pumpkin and 1/2 cup leftover chopped butternut squash. It turned out wonderfully and now i have lots of leftovers!
Thanks for the awesome recipe! The avocado cream worked perfectly with the recipe. You guys are so awesome!

November 15, 2010 at 5:19 pmI just made this the other week and it turned out absolutely awesome. You’re right, the spice mixture is the key. I now have a chili recipe to destroy my friends’ bean oriented lame-o chili.
p.s. The avocado cream is phenomenal .. this could actually rival ice cream in my opinion.
megan keatley
November 16, 2010 at 8:32 amwe’re so glad you liked it! i’ve been playing around with making avocado ice cream–amongst other avocado-y things. we’re pretty obsessed with the “alligator pear.”

November 16, 2010 at 7:38 pmI LOVED THIS recipe! Actually got someone to convert to Paleo through this recipe! haha 🙂 Is there any nutrition information i.e. calories, protein, carbs, sodium, etc?
brandon keatley
November 17, 2010 at 10:24 amalright, i worked on the nutrition info for you on this one. see the update to the post. keep in mind anyone can analyze any recipe with some good online resources for building recipes. the one i used is http://nutritiondata.self.com/, but there are others out there. we generally don’t get too wrapped up with the macros and just feel good knowing we know each ingredient in the recipe will make for some clean eating. glad you liked it, thanks so much for the feedback.

November 20, 2010 at 5:02 pmWow. Thanks for the recipe. Made it once these week, and all the leftovers were carried away by my friends. Making it again today.
Seriously the best chili recipe I’ve ever used.

November 21, 2010 at 9:54 pmLoved the flavor in this recipe!! Definitely the best chili I’ve ever had – Paleo or not. The avocado cream is very creative and unusual – yet also tasty. I can’t wait to eat leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Erica
November 29, 2010 at 8:30 amYUM!! I made this last night. A couple changes:
-Roasted the pumpkin at 400 degrees beforehand to get some caramelization
-Used 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of Ro*Tel (that’s all I had); left them undrained and thus didn’t add any broth
-Used dark meat ground turkey instead of beef
-Used storebought guacamole (Wholly Guacamole) instead of making the avocado cream
It was delicious!! My husband loved it, he was still talking about it this morning!
megan keatley
November 30, 2010 at 9:42 amso glad ya’ll enjoyed it erica. you gotta doctor up that store-bought guac with some of the ‘cream’ ingredients and let us know what you think.
Shawn
December 1, 2010 at 11:24 amMade this one last night and it was great! My wife and I have tried a bunch of your recipes and I think this one is our new favorite. Gotta love a recipe that takes 20 minutes to make, tastes amazing, and gives a few days of leftovers.

Bridget
February 7, 2011 at 2:31 amok, I bought several pumpkins around halloween with the intention of saving them for cooking. I decided to make this chili and roasted it in one of the pumpkins. So I made the chili as described but then filled the pumpkin with it and roasted it at 320 for about 2.5 hours. It did leak a little, but it ended up so pretty! Then I just scraped the inside of the pumpkin while serving to give people pumpkin with their chili. once the avocado was added, it was perfect, and it was quite a conversation piece bringing out a whole pumpkin to the table. I took a picture, but I’m not sure how to upload it.
Virginia
May 12, 2011 at 10:50 amI made this last night with canned pumpkin and some extra vegetables that I needed to use up, and it was amazing! My favorite part was the spice mixture on the meat – I wanted to eat half the beef before it got to the pot, and I’m not even a big fan of meat. My husband especially loved the avocado cream; I only used one orange worth of juice, but it was already VERY orange-y. All told this is another fantastic recipe that we’re definitely going to make again!
Bridget – what a fun idea with the pumpkin!
Brianne
June 1, 2011 at 3:10 pmThis sounds delicious – can you tell me how many people this would serve?

August 16, 2011 at 9:19 pmThe flavor combination in this is freakin’ incredible. I had to restrain myself from mass quantities of “taste tests” during the cooking process so there would be enough for the fam. Well done, as usual!

August 20, 2011 at 12:54 amAll I can say is Holy Cow! This stuff rocks!!! I decided to make this at about 11PM after to going to the store. SOOOO glad I did! I don’t care that it’s August and still in the upper 70’s this stuff is good anytime of the year! Love your website and all your recipes. If it wasn’t for you guys I would probably be starving 😉 Keep it up!

October 16, 2011 at 2:24 pmOh dear lord! This was, hands down, the best chili I’ve ever eaten. I made it for a friend who graciously accepts the role of guinea pig when I’m trying out new recipes and we both sat there groaning and moaning throughout the whole meal. I’m sure that anyone who heard us thought there was something kinky going on! This is going to be a regular occurance at my hourse and the avocado cream was simply amazing. I will be making that again and using it as a veggie dip! Thanks so much for this little gem!

Jackie
October 29, 2011 at 6:16 pmThis was AWESOME. I used the spice mixture exactly as is and the cream mixture (minus coriander and S&P…forgot to add them). The chili I used 2 yellow onions, 1 fresh tomato and one large can of diced tomatoes, then several massive handfuls of the inside of my regular old pumpkin we just carved. I had between 2 and 3 pounds of ribeye meat cut up in cubes marinating in my fridge so I just used all of that and omitted the stock. This had an amazing flavor even though I kinda bumbled my way through it with the “big” ingredients. Definitely a keeper!

December 22, 2011 at 11:33 amMaybe a silly question, but what is FOC in the ingredients list?
megan keatley
December 22, 2011 at 11:37 amnot silly at all. it’s just my acronym for fat of choice. i don’t always specify which type of fat i think you should use (olive oil, butter, coconut oil, etc)–b/c i don’t think it matters that much, so i just put f.o.c.
i have updated the recipe to spell out the acronym. thanks for bring it to my attention.

February 1, 2012 at 9:49 pmHoly Health-Bent, Batman! That is an amazing recipe…one of the best, in fact! I added some bell pepper and a jalapeño (I had one and I like spicy), used 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey, and subbed lime for the orange (that’s what I had) in the avocado cream. This one will be a repeat for sure…hubby approved even though I made it a tad too spicy for him. I’m new to paleo eating and you guys have great recipes. When can we expect to see a cookbook in iBooks?

November 5, 2012 at 11:45 amMegan and Brandon, I made this yesterday for an Avocados From Mexico party I was hosting. Most of the people there eat Paleo but there were some non-Paleo folks too. This got great reviews from our guests and it made a lot! I doubled the recipe and it was perfect. The citrus-y avocado cream was a great complement to the hearty chili. The avocado cream brightened up the complex flavors of the chili. I used canned pumpkin and no one guessed there was pumpkin in it. This is a great recipe for Fall. Next time, I will brown up the meat and add all the ingredients to a crock pot for a weeknight meal, to let all the flavors meld together. So, so good!
Patricia
November 5, 2012 at 9:06 pmThanks for the review Liz. I was wondering whether to cook this for our party too since most of us eat Paleo. I guess it’s a no-brainer now.

November 18, 2012 at 7:05 pmI try out a lot of recipes I find online and get a lot of mixed results but this was AMAZING. I have never even left a comment on a recipe before.
The chili with the pumpkin was great enough and made/ate that way too many days last week but ran out of most of the ingredients to make it again (and yes, I wanted to make it again). I think I’m addicted to the spice mixture- I ended up putting it on some chicken I had and cooking it down over some vegetables and it was still great.
Thanks!!!

November 28, 2012 at 9:13 pmThis recipe is great! I had my doubts making it since I’m not a big fan of cumin. But, I stuck to the amounts listed and hoped that the cumin would mellow out a bit in it. My husband and I both loved it and will definitely be making it again. The avocado cream is a fantastic way to top it. Can’t wait to try some other recipes from your site and see if they come out as good.

The avacado cream was great too and I cut the avacado cream in half cause there is only the two of us but it still made plenty could have feed three or four people depending. Would also work well with fish or shrimp tacos.

September 15, 2013 at 11:44 pmI just recently started trying to eat clean and wanted a yummy pumpkin chili recipe to try. I came across this recipe through another blog, and decided I had to try it after all the rave reviews. I used canned pumpkin, and reduced the beef to 1.5lbs. I also added a diced jalapeno because I love spicy. With the avocado cream, I added in a small container of fat free plain Greek yogurt, and used lime instead of orange. The results were amazing! It was super easy, the spice mix is unique, and the avocado cream is totally worth the extra effort on top of making the chili. Both my boyfriend and I decided this was a complete winner and I will probably be making it over and over again until it’s too hot outside for chili!

September 22, 2013 at 4:29 am“Add your diced onion and garlic. Let those two saute for a few minutes (3-4) stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened. Add your diced or canned pumpkin.”
Am I adding the onion and garlic to the beef/spice mixture or the pot? And the pumpkin as well?

I do however use GROUND WHITE TURKEY. I love beef, but I can’t have a lot of it. And truthfully, in this chili, the turkey is really good. It’s firm and holds up nicely in the chili. Thanks for this recipe, it is a staple in my house!
