This chili will surprise you. No one knows it has pumpkin in it unless you tell them. I adapted it from a Libby’s recipe and it makes a great conversation piece for Fall parties. I tell everyone that it’s as close to organic as I can get because I actually use ground venison and fresh produce from my garden.

This is very tasty, and just like you say--No one would know there was pumpkin in it! Perfectly seasoned and spiced, and very filling. I will definitely make it again! :)
