    This post brought to you by LIBBY’S Pumpkin. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Ah, pumpkin. This delicious vegetable isn’t just for pumpkin pie, you know! There are so many different things you can do with pumpkin, and with LIBBY’S 100% Pure Pumpkin available in the baking aisle of your local grocery store year-round, it doesn’t have to be!

    There are so many different ways to use LIBBY’S 100% Pure Pumpkin in your everyday recipes; ranging from that tried and true holiday staple to using it as a substitute to cut down on the fat in your favorite baked goods, to incorporating it into your breakfast recipes in the form of waffles and smoothies too! Have you ever thought about using LIBBY’S 100% Pure Pumpkin in your dinnertime recipes?

    Pumpkin & Lamb Chili Recipe #PumpkinCan

    You can stir in LIBBY’s Pumpkin in your favorite macaroni and cheese and even add a bit to jarred sauces to reduce sodium. Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin contains no salt, no sugar, no flavorings or preservatives - It's just 100% pure pumpkin. You can even portion off any unused pumpkin and store it in the freezer!

    I did a little experimenting with this recipe and came up with a delicious, healthy Pumpkin and Lamb Chili recipe that you can make in either the slow cooker or right on the stove top!

    Libby's Pumpkin is perfect for year-round recipes because it has lots of fiber, Vitamin A, and is packed with Beta Carotene too!

    LIBBY'S Pumpkin and Lamb Chili Recipe #pumpkincan

    Here are a few substitutions I’ve discovered while using LIBBY’S Pumpkin in my cooking and baking:

    • Replace some of the butter in a recipe with pumpkin puree to reduce fat.
    • Replace vegetable oil in a recipe with LIBBY's Pumpkin in equal parts.
    • Use ¼ cup LIBBY's Pumpkin as an egg substitute in baking recipes.

    Easy enough, right? We can all eat a little healthier by using these easy substitutes, but you can also use LIBBY’S Pumpkin in the place of butter, oil and eggs anytime you find that you’re missing one of those baking staples - just make sure that you always have a can of LIBBY’S Pumpkin in the pantry!

      We don't eat lamb in our house, but I bet chicken could substitute in there nicely!!

      I think I would substitute the lamb for beef. But that looks like a great recipe to try.

      You are now the 2nd person in the last year I have seen put pumpkin in their chili. I LOVE pumpkin but have yet to try this. My cousin has a pumpkin patch and every year they throw a little party for his kids and friends. They carve out pumpkins. They have buckets set up to collect the seeds. I take 20-30 pumpkin worth of seeds home and roast them for Christmas gift baskets. I can/jar them. I also swipe a few pumpkins for myself for butter and making my own canned pumpkin. I make bread, pies and even smoothies with it!

      Now that's something new! I never thought of putting pumpkin in my chili. I was trying to imagine how that will taste. But the photos you shared look yummy and delicious. I might want to try it out and hope it turns out to be as good as yours. Thanks for the post, Jenn! 🙂

      That looks really good. I never thought to add canned pumpkin to my recipes, especially my mac and cheese. I usually just make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, but now you have me thinking.

      I have never tried cooking with lamb. I guess that it would make a leaner lighter dish than using beef!

      well, since I have two chilli addicts in my home, I will try this recipe out, sadly I don't know as though I will buy lamb as that's expensive 🙁 Love adding pumpkin to liven up some already used recipes though!

      This sounds like an absolutely crazy combo, but chili is one of those crazy things. You can put so many different things together and it works great!
