Pumpkin Chili

Last night I made Pumpkin chili for my family. I was a little skeptical about trying this new recipe because pumpkin is not an ingredient normally used to make chili but it turned out fabulous and I look forward to making this again.

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef

1 t crushed red pepper

1 t minced garlic

1 med white onion chopped

1 green bell pepper chopped

1 red bell pepper chopped

1 yellow bell pepper chopped

2 cans kidney beans with juices

2 cans black beans with juices

1 can Rotel with juice

1 can diced tomato with juice

1 can fire roasted tomatoes with juice

1 can pumpkin puree

2 t pumpkin pie spice

3 t chili powder

1 t ground cumin

Directions:

Brown the ground beef in a pan then drain grease. In a large crock pot or a large pot add remaining ingredients and let cook for two hours. I have five children living at home so you may have to adjust the ingredients to fit your family size.
