Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili image

My family is crazy about this slow cooker chili because it uses ingredients you don't usually find in chili. Believe it or not, I discovered that pumpkin is what makes the dish so special. Cook up a big batch and freeze some for later; it tastes even better reheated. -Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan

This was my first time making chili with pumpkin and I was pleasantly surprised. The pumpkin added a nice sweetness and creaminess to the chili. I'll definitely be making this again.
