Pumpkin Chili

Pumpkin Chili

Here’s a recipe that is much more delicious than it sounds. The first time I saw this on a blog, I thought it sounded gross, and it took me quite a while to finally try it. I am so glad I did, because it is amazing. The pumpkin is very subtle, and it creates a wonderfully creamy texture to the chili. You can find my pumpkin chili recipe over at the Family Kitchen.

    This is exciting to me…I actually perk up whenever I see pumpkin mentioned, so I’m not turned off by the title at all. I’ve been adding pumpkin to everything lately….even to my banana milkshakes! I’m sure that this make the chili taste even creamier and heartier…thank you for sharing!

    This sounds wonderful to me for a fall dinner! This is a great way to get extra good-for-us (and delicious too) veggies into chili.

    This recipe sounds amazing, in no way would pumpkin in chili distract my taste buds. I will check out the recipe at the Family Kitchen :)

    Actually, I don’t think it sounds gross as much as it sounds unusual. I wasn’t always a foodie or at least an open minded one. One thing I learned to do it think about what flavors are present in a dish and imagine substitutes. Given that there are sometimes sweet ingredients in chili I can see how this would work. I’m sure the texture would be great as well.

    Seems like one of those recipes that makes you ask, “What is that flavor? I guess I’ll have to keep eating it until I figure it out.” :D

    As always your photography blows me away. Cheers!

    Delicious! I only used 1 can pumpkin puree and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter! Don’t knock it until you try it!!!
