Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

It was awesome! I used all turkey and a extra can of beans and a few other variations. Someone actually offered to pay me to make him a batch, it's that good! :-)

This recipe now qualifies as "award winning" after taking top prize in my office chili cook-off this week (there were 9 entries)! I added a little salt and pepper, along with about 10 drops of standard tabasco sauce. And used ground beef instead of ground chuck.
