Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Preheat a pot or dutch oven to medium high heat with avocado or olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. If using diced pumpkin or sweet potato, you’ll add it during this step as well – and cook until it’s soft. Add more oil as needed.
Add the minced garlic and sauté a couple more minutes.
Add the grass-fed ground beef and sauté, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until there’s no more pink, and add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 Tbsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and mix thoroughly.
Incorporate the pumpkin puree, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Add the remaining salt (1 tsp) and chili powder (1 Tbsp). Stir it all together then taste test. Add more salt as needed.
