“Our family loves this slow-cooked recipe, especially on cold days. It's a wonderful variation on standard chili that freezes well and tastes even better as leftovers.” —Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan

Use Rotel tomatoes instead of reg to add more spice.

made this with leftover christmas turkey. You can't taste the pumpkin just a yummy chili. Hits the spot on cold winter days.

Loved this chili. It's delicious, but does not taste like pumpkin at all. I used ground turkey instead of cubed and it was delicious!

I make this with ground beef instead of turkey and it is hearty and comforting.

My entire family loved this. Here are the changes I made: used a red pepper, skipped saute step and put it all in the slow cooker, added another can of black beans, used 2 large cans of chicken instead of turkey, added 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder, used 2 teaspoons of salt. Also I had made some corn stock (from left over cobs that I had frozen the corn off, Eugina Bone's recipe) and used that instead of chicken broth.

One of the best chili recipes! I make this every year in the Fall and Winter. Everyone I make it for ALWAYS ask for the recipe.

This is more than excellent and I wish I could give it more stars.

Fantastic! Would rate a six if I could! So unique to have a chili that doesn't have a 'red sauce' flavor. Will be a regular!

This is a monthly meal. For our family i use half black bean, half northern. I add 2 tsp cinnamon, and 3+ tbsp brown sugar. Since peppers are hcrazy expensive when we want to eat it, i freeze chopped fresh peppers in the summer.
