The weather finally turned cool this week and I personally felt the need to mark the passing of summer with the MOST possible fall-like meal ever: Pumpkin Chili. Everyone in our family gobbled it up! I hope you’ll try it soon and let me know what you think of it.
Update – I entered this chili recipe in the Ohio State Fair and won fourth place!
When the overwhelming urge to add pumpkin spice to everything meets the classic fall chili recipe, you get this tasty and super simple Pumpkin Chili.
