Pumpkin Chili Recipe

This unique chili freezes well...but it still doesn't last around our farmhouse very long, especially when my five children and 13 grandchildren are around! They often are—we are a very close-knit family.—Betty Butler, Greencastle, Indiana

This Chili has a unique taste. Four out of five family members liked it. It was easy to make, and perfect for a cool fall day.

I just wasted my money on spices and ground beef to make something that tastes like pumpkin and vinegar.If i'm lucky the ants will eat it because I will not.Stick to tradional chili.

This Chili has started a new Halloween Eve tradition for my husband and I...it's wonderful and can be made ahead and kept warm.

This was a quick, inexpensive and delicious recipe. My husband said, "I never would have thought I'd like this.", but he did!

This chili was amazing! I will probably only make this kind from now on! I was worried it would be too sweet but it was actually just a perfect mix of sweet and hot.

This has quickly become a family favorite! My picky children who typically don't care for chili love the combination of flavors and frequently request this for dinner!

Happened across this recipe linked from a blog I was following and decided to whip it up. I made some minor adjustments for tasted, but mostly followed the recipe. Everyone who ate it gave it great review.

The blog that linked it suggested using Kielbasa sausage instead of turkey cuts (seemed odd), and it worked out great. I also cut the broth to 2 cups because I wanted it less soupy and it worked well for that. Also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes for some added heat. Spot on perfect.

Next time I might try using a ground turkey sausage for meat, and maybe add some corn to the mix.

Quick and easy recipe to enjoy - have at it!

I couldn't find regular chili sauce so I used sweet chili sauce only 1 bottle and added 3T chili powder, omitted the sugar and added 2C. pumpkin. This was so good I am planning on taking it to my works chili cook-off!
