I use pork and turkey instead of beef just a personal preference and I add a half cup of natural peanut butter to my chili along with the pumpkin.
Lori, yours looks great! I am enjoying your site very much.

I added Chipolte Peppers in this as well… with adobe sauce…. Only 1 if more makes it to spicey for my family. but adds dept to the chili.

This sounds so good. I think I’ll just swap ground turkey in for the beer.

I made mine just like the recipe and I’m letting it sit in the Crock Pot for about 4 hours on high. I’m really looking forward to tasting it!
