My nephew requested Pumpkin Chili for a Halloween dinner. Of course I gave it a go. I like that he likes my cooking. Here is the the recipe I came up with after looking at a few online. This is even better the next day!
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chili
2 lbs. ground chicken (or leftover turkey if you do this the day after Thanksgiving!)
1 good sized onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
1-2 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
2 15 oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 can cannellini beans, drained ( or another bean of your choice, like pinto)
1 can kidney beans, drained
2 or 3 c. chicken broth, depending on how thick you want it
1 T. cumin
1 T. chili powder
1 t. garlic powder
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
a few shakes of 5-spice seasoning
salt/pepper to taste
Brown the ground chicken in a bit of olive oil. Add the onions, green pepper, jalapeno, garlic to soften them toward the end.
Put the mixture above in a crock pot. Add all of the other ingredients and stir.
Cook for about 5-7 hours.
