Looking for Unusual Pumpkin Recipes?
When you're ready to try some a little new and different, I'll be waiting. Come on in and have some pumpkin chili.
Pumpkin Chili? Really?
Yes, really. And it's good!
The thing is, most of these things taste great. And the pumpkin chili recipe is like that too. My kids and husband loved this chili. They gobbled it up and didn't even taste the pumpkin, until I told them, of course. It doesn't really scream PUMPKIN when you eat it, but the pumpkin adds a depth to the chili that is so satisfying. I prefer the chili made with chicken.
This is a great way to sneak more veggies into your meals. The kids will thank you for it.

- I've tried adding pumpkin to Spaghetti Sauce but never to chili. I'll have to try it one of these days.
Maybe it could be the mystery ingredient for a spooky Halloween dinner before going out Trick or Treating. Booo!!!
