Do you like chili?! Want to find a way to add a little more veggies to it? Try this Pumpkin Chili! I have a couple favorite chili recipes I make every year.. and this is one of them!
I remember when my mom first told me to try it…I was so very skeptical. I didn’t want to risk MY chili night on a dud.
But honestly, I love it! I also loved I was sneaking in some veggies for my kids back then. Now, they eat their veggies with no sneaking and we still make this every season. I also have my standard chili recipe that I love and simmer alllll day. But this one is quick and so it is made every year!
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
