Pumpkin Chili Recipe

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chili Recipe

A family pumpkin carving party at work many years ago introduced our family to pumpkin chili. Although our family is not typically a fan of chili we loved it and found a way to make it our own by making our own pumpkin chili recipe with ingredients we will eat.

This particular recipe was created two years ago for a Kenmore cooking competition I participated in but never shared on my blog. It was this recipe that landed me in the top five of all recipes submitted from among some amazing foodie competitors and am excited to share this recipe with you today. Oh yes, it is that tasty. Excuse me while I go make a new batch of pumpkin chili for lunch and dinner.
