Autumn Chili image

A touch of baking cocoa gives my chili a rich flavor without adding sweetness. When I was growing up in the North, we served chili over rice. But after I married a Texan, I began serving it with chopped onions, shredded cheese and, of course, homemade corn bread!-Audrey Bryne, Lillian, Texas

I'm giving this chili a 3 out of 5 stars. It was good, but not great. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This chili was a disaster! It was too salty and the beef was tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to taste.

This chili is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. They'll never know that they're eating pumpkin!

This chili is a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving.

I love how this chili is made with ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option, but it's still just as delicious.

This chili is perfect for a cold fall day. It's hearty and filling, and the spices are just right.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the pumpkin puree in this chili, but I was pleasantly surprised! It added a nice sweetness and depth of flavor.

This chili was a hit with my family! The flavors were complex and delicious, and the beef was so tender. I will definitely be making this again.
