It’s football season AND it is pumpkin season! I took the best things about the beginning of Fall and created a simple game day chili fusing lean protein, smoky chipotle and sweet pumpkin.
It’s a comfort food trifecta!
I went with pork loin because it was a leaner option that was still shredable. You can swap for pork shoulder, pork butt, chicken breasts or even beef brisket. This is basically a “dump” recipe which means less time prepping and cooking and more time living your life (or watching Sunday football).
This recipe makes 6 very generous servings with 49g of protein each! If you aren’t sharing, go ahead and freeze some leftover servings for your meal prep.
