Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili image

My family is crazy about this slow cooker chili because it uses ingredients you don't usually find in chili. Believe it or not, I discovered that pumpkin is what makes the dish so special. Cook up a big batch and freeze some for later; it tastes even better reheated. -Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be great for people who like spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this chili was surprisingly good. The pumpkin flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. It's also a great meatless option for a weeknight meal.

I made a few modifications to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and added a can of corn.

I was skeptical about the pumpkin in chili, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a really nice flavor and texture.
