Pumpkin Chili

This is a recipe I make all the time.  For that reason it is very fluid and every time it turns out slightly different but it is also delicious and hubby and I LOVE it.

1 can diced tomatoes

1 lb ground meat

1 large can pumpkin purée 

1/2 onion chopped

1 can rotel (or another can of tomatoes depending on your preferred spice level)

1Tbsp cinnamon

1-2 Tbsp chili powder

1 tsp nutmeg 

Salt & Pepper to taste (I omit) 

Brown meat & sauté onion with meat.  Drain fat and add all other ingredients.  Simmer until heated through or cook in crock pot on low 6-10 hours. This is a recipe that really gets better with the more time the flavores have to meld together.  

The pumpkin gives this recipe a great smoothness that makes it super yummy and makes it so that you don't need cheese or sour cream!
