Chouriço Pumpkin Chili Bowls w/ Spicy Cornbread

by sammymoniz

Warming up in the winter is best with a big bowl of chili. This Chouriço Pumpkin Chili Bowls w/ Spicy Cornbread dish is hearty and seasonal. I like to crumble up my cornbread and top my chili with it, but you can dip it or enjoy it on the side with some salty butter, yum! This dish does not skimp on the flavor and is PACKED with spices.

The grocery list.

Dutch ovens.

A Dutch oven is a wonderful, versatile pan. They’re ideal for making soups and stews like this Chouriço Pumpkin Chili Bowls w/ Spicy Cornbread recipe. Not only that, they can be used like any other pan for things like roasting, browning, frying, etc. You can even bake bread in a Dutch oven (check out my Homemade Dutch Oven Loaf recipe).

I think my favorite use for a Dutch oven is its ability to replace a slow cooker. Not everyone has a slow cooker, but with a pan like this that does it all you can make slow cooker recipes just as easily in a Dutch oven within the oven. Your dish will take longer to cook than in a slow cooker, so keep that in mind. One Feeding the Frasers dish that can be made in a pressure cooker or Dutch oven is the Sheet Pan Nachos with Carnitas & Roasted Pineapple recipe.

Why would you need a million different pans when you can have one that has multiple functions??

Instructions

  1. Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat with the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the chouriço. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the fat has rendered. Remove the chouriço and set aside.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pan with the rendered fat. Cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Return the chouriço to the dutch oven.
  3. Add the red onions and for cook 2-3 minutes. To the meat, add the spices (garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, chili powder and oregano) mix well and cook additional 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients.
  4. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1-2 hours, stirring every so often. Serve topped with shredded cheddar, raw red onion, green onions, and a side of cornbread***.

Notes

**Chouriço (pronounced shoor-reese), is a smokey Portuguese sausage, most similar to Spanish Chorizo, with a strong wine flavor and bold spices. Chouriço is sometimes called Linguiça but that is actually a different and more mild Portuguese sausage, most similar to a Polish Kielbasa. 

***Cornbread muffins pictured were made with Trader Joe's boxed cornbread mix and added jalapeños and red onion to the tops before baking.

Slow Cooker Method: After cooking the Chouriço and Turkey, all ingredient can be added to the pot of a slow cooker for easy meal prep. Cook on low 4-6 hours or high 2-4 hours.

This recipe is delicious and has just become not only my go-to chili recipe but also my favorite of all time and I have been to quite a few chili festivals. I was a little skeptical about the pumpkin bc I have never eaten or used pumpkin but I went for it and honestly, I am glad I did. You make it look like I know how to cook and that, in and of itself, is a miracle, and this chili is a delicious one!
