This recipe makes a lot, perfect for two nights. Leftovers freeze and reheat well, perfect for packing lunch for work.
There’s lots of spices and vegetables in this hearty chili, but trust me I wouldn’t change a thing. Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking, then once you sauté all your vegetables the rest of the time it’s pretty hands off while it simmers.

To Freeze Leftover Pumpkin Chili

Let the chili cool completely then refrigerate 4 to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat frozen chili, transfer to the refrigerator the night before.
