A very good chili. It would be improved by a longer cooking time so that the flavors have more time to come together. Very easy to make. A great weekday meal.

Thank you, thank you for this recipe! My kids hate chili and complain the rare times I make it….not so with this one! They ate with no complaints and even remarked how good it was!! I did use gr. turkey for the beef…delicious!!

I blogged about this recipe here: http://ashmariie.tumblr.com/post/1569284699/the-most-badass-pumpkin-chili-youve-ever-tasted#notes
I’m not one to really like my food spicy at all, but this recipe is so good, I don’t mind at all that it has a bit of a kick. The pumpkin adds a really satisfyingly sweet undertone to the recipe, but it’s not at all overwhelming. When I was looking for a good recipe, I came across a similar (but slightly more complicated) recipe that recommended sprinkling the chili with chocolate shavings before serving, so I thought I would try it with this recipe since chocolate and pumpkin go so fantastically well together. I was so right! The chocolate really complements all the flavors. I can’t get enough of this stuff!
I modified the recipe slightly. Since I’m not really all that into super spicy foods, I halved the chili powder. Also, I thought 1 cup of pumpkin was a really odd amount to add, especially since it’s only about half a can. And where am I going to find a recipe for approximately half a can of pumpkin? So I just added the whole darn can. Once I put everything into the pot, I felt like it was a little thick, so I added just a little more beef broth, but I’m not sure how much.

I recommend adding a whole can of pumpkin puree as opposed to just one cup, and try adding some chocolate shavings just before serving. Really complements all the flavor in this fantastic dish.

shehutch is right, it’s the red peppers you’re seeing. No carrots!

You know, you could be right!

I wonder if what you think are carrots are actually the red peppers.

The picture has carrots, but there aren’t any listed? I’m hoping to make this tonight, so I just wanted to check …
