Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced (about ½ an onion)
  • 1 jalapeno diced (deseed for less spice)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cracked pepper or to taste
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • 15 oz can of diced tomatoes (I prefer petite diced)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups beef bone broth
  • 1 cup coconut cream (see substitutions above)
  • 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1½ cups dry brown rice noodles (I use Jovial brand)
  • chopped parsley for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat your Dutch oven or large skillet to medium high heat and add your oil.
  • Break up and brown the ground beef in the pot until it's about ¾ of the way cooked. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, oregano, and parsley and stir to combine everything evenly.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes, pumpkin puree, beef broth, coconut cream, and nutritional yeast. Gently stir to combine and let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add the dry noodles to the pot, stir, and continue to boil until the noodles are just al dente (approx. 10-15 minutes). Turn off the heat.
  • The noodles will continue to absorb liquid and soften, and the whole dish will start to thicken up when you take it off the heat.
  • Top each serving with additional chopped parsley (optional) and serve in bowls. Enjoy!
