5 pounds andouille sausage, sliced
5 pounds ground beef
5 pounds duck confit, chopped or shredded
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

2 cans (15 ounce size) tomato puree, more if needed
2 cans (15 ounce size) corn, drained

Combine the andouille sausage and ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the duck confit, bell peppers, onion, beans, tomato puree, Cajun seasoning, and corn to the Dutch oven. Mix well, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and let simmer for 2 hours. Stir the chili occasionally.

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.
