Delicious. I also add mushroom and corn.

The pumpkin gives it a nicer, almost creamy texture. Also makes it super filling with the extra fiber. I’ve made this recipe a few times now and it’s turned out great every time. Love how simple it is as well. And it’s another one off this site that you can easily make from memory and customize. Thanks yet again for another awesome recipe!

Made this with beef this time & it’s even better! Accidentally thought it called for turkey last time. Oooops.

This was a huge hit in my house! Absolutely delicious!! Kid approved too, my 8 year old asked for it on leftover day!!
The only thing I did differently was pinto beans instead of black beans because I didn’t have any on hand. Otherwise it was exact and very flavorful!

This is absolutely phenomenal! I used chicken instead of turkey as I needed to use up my chicken. Added a bit more salt at the end & topped with sharp white goat cheese instead of cow’s cheese. I heard raves all night about this recipe and I agree! I had no idea it’s possible to find cheap recipes that are also scrumptious!

This is delicious and have made on repeat. My son loves it as well and doesn’t suspect the can of pumpkin lol. I was wondering if bell peppers can be added for extra veggies and if so should it be sautéed with the onions or added at the simmer stage (don’t want them turning soggy). Thanks!

On replacing canned pumpkin puree if it isn’t available:

Roasted, otherwise there is too much moisture in it. From my experience, it is still more moist/less dense than the purée in cans so keep that in mind when adding other liquids.

Do not use oil or spices/salt if you are trying to replicate the basic canned purée from States.

Also, it is best to use the types of pumpkin or other winter squash intended for eating rather than the type grown primarily for decoration or livestock consumption. Some pumpkin varieties are very stringy and not dense enough to make a decent puree.

My vegan daughter made this as a hearty replacement for turkey at Thanksgiving. She substituted a can of chickpeas for the ground beef and the rest of the non vegan family members really liked it! I have made it twice myself…once vegan and once cooking the ground beef separately ( because the other family members always ask if there’s meat😊) having 1/2 vegan and 1/2 with meat. The recipe is sooo easy and a well stocked pantry has everything you need. Thanks for a great recipe🙏💕.
