Chili is one of my favorite comfort foods. Especially while the cold weather is freezing everything outside, it's nice to cozy up inside with a warm bowl of chili.
This Pumpkin Chili is a fun spin on a classic with the addition of just that - pumpkin! Unexpected, yes, but once you try this, you won't want to go back! The pumpkin thickens the chili nicely and adds a nice flavor that isn't overpowering. If you like hearty, this recipe is for you.
