This was tonight's dinner. It was quite delicious and different. Of course, if I was making this for real chile-heads I would've used a lot of chile - dried and crushed and hydrated BUT I was making this for Trev and Steve so I used some cayenne and some plain chili powder. It was very good but could've been a lot spicier.
I dripped some hot sauce on top.
Chunky Pumpkin Vegetable Chili
1-28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2-15 oz can pumpkin puree
2 tsp chopped garlic
2 tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can Bush's Grilling Beans*
1/2 cup canned green chiles
1 zucchini, chopped
1.5 cups onion, chopped
2 Light Life Vegetarian Sausages, sliced & browned**
Add crushed tomatoes, pumpkin, garlic and all seasonings into the
crockpot (which is lined with a Crockpot Liner). Mix well. Add diced
tomatoes, Grilling Beans, chiles, zucchini and onions.Cover and cook on
HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 7-8 hours.
Risa's notes:
* original recipe called for 1-15 oz can chili beans and 1-15 oz can
black beans. I used a 20 oz can of Bush's Grilling Beans instead.
** original recipe did not call for the veggie sausages. I browned them
in a pan and then added them to the chili in the last 1/2 hour.
