Try This Pumpkin Chili for a Familiar Feeling of Comfort That Can't Be Beat

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.
