Taste of Fall #2: Phenomenal Pumpkin Chili


I tend to enjoy the Fall season. The weather gets nice - usually make great beach days in Florida -, I start getting in the Holiday spirit, and for the most part when I think of Fall I start to also think of Food. I mean Fall does = Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season approaching in general. And the Holiday season is always full of good food. So I decided I wanted to do something special on my blog every Thursday during Fall. Taste of Fall! 

Every Thursday I plan on having other bloggers come over and Guest Post with Fall Inspired Recipes. Some may be healthy, some may not but I'm hoping they will all be yummy! With that said, let's get to our Guest post!

...


Hello! My name is Robin and I am 31 years old living in beautiful Denver Colorado and I have a confession- I do NOT like eating veggies. I wish I did, really. I could blame it on my mom, who managed a fast food restaurant my whole life, but in my heart I know it’s my own dang fault.
All that being said- last night I ate my veggies. They were in the form of chili, but normally I pick around the pieces I don’t want and leave the sad remnants of what could’ve been a nutritious meal in the bowl to feed to the disposal.
Not last night. I ate ALL of it. Twice.
So here you go, the best chili I have ever had (and like any good recipe, it was passed down from a friend who got it from another person who got it from someone else and so on….)
Seriously, so easy. Make it. Eat it. Love it.
Pumpkin Chili
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb hot Italian sausage (I used a sweet Italian sausage)
1 29 oz canned pumpkin
1 14 oz canned tomatoes with green chiles, drained
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper (I doubled the green and skipped the yellow. Yellow is expensive.)
1 medium onion (I used a white one)
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
salt/pepper to taste

Step 1: Saute garlic, peppers and onion in olive oil in large pot.


Step 2: Add both meats and cook until they brown. Add the salt and pepper to make it yummy.


Step 3: Add remaining ingredients, stir to incorporate, and simmer for 30 minutes.



So there you have it my friends.
