The fall flavors in this dish are perfect for a rainy day. I serve it in individual dishes with toasted bread or over rice or potatoes. Fire-roasted tomatoes are available in national markets, near other canned tomato products. They are not spicy, just roasted over fire so they have a distinct and delicious smoky flavor.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Canola Oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey

  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes

  • 1 (15-ounce) can Gefen Tomato Sauce

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 15 ouncesĀ Tuscanini Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Prepare the Chili with Pumpkin

1.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for five minutes, stirring until softened.

Add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Cook on high for four hours or low for seven hours.

4.

Serve warm in individual bowls with crumbled tortilla chips or toasted bread, or serve over baked potatoes or rice.

Yes. It’s best to store the chili in air-tight containers, glass jars or freezer-safe bags (double bag the freezer bags to avoid leakage and freezer burn).
