pumpkin sausage chili

pumpkin… EVERYTHING has arrived.  that’s what “they” say, and i’m with the crowd.  i found a fun recipe on allrecipes.com for pumpkin turkey chili, and at a challenge from johnsonville, tweaked it to become a new autumn favorite.  the result was a super-fast pumpkin sausage chili whose depth of flavor belies the easy prep.

i am thinking i’ll try this recipe in the slow cooker, and i may also take this winter as an opportunity to double the batch and freeze half for an easy weeknight grab!

    This is quite tasty, especially with a dash of your favorite hot sauce (mine is Sriracha). I was concerned the pumpkin might overpower the other flavors, but it definitely did NOT.

    This recipe for pumpkin sausage chili sounds absolutely delicious! I love the combination of savory sausage with the sweetness of pumpkin, and the addition of spices and other ingredients really takes this dish to the next level.
