pumpkin chili on a chilly night

This is quite possible my favorite thing to make because it's easy, cheap, and to-die-for-delicious. The recipe goes as follows with a few changes that I made:

3 lbs ground beef (WAY too much meat for me, I used 1 lb ground turkey)
1 medium onion
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 t salt
1 t pepper
2 t pumpkin pie spice
2 cans (10 oz each) condensed tomato soup undiluted
2 cans (16 oz each) chili sauce
1 t sugar
1 t chili powder
(and I like to add a few cans of different beans, this time I used a can of red and a can of white)

In a large soup kettle cook the meat and onion till it's no longer pink. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, bring to a boil then let it simmer for about an hour.

I like this chili because it doesn't have too much of a chili powder taste, it's sweeter. Also it makes a LOT but it freezes exceptionally well.


It looks like sludge here but it tastes like heaven
