Pumpkin Chili

It's the perfect month to try this chili:
(11 servings)

3 lbs. ground beef
1 med. sweet* white onion, chopped
2 16 oz. cans hot chili beans, drained
2 12oz. bottles chili sauce
2 cans condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. sea salt*
1 t. sugar
1 t. pepper
1 t. chili powder
Sour cream*
Shredded 4 Mexican cheese blend*

In a large Dutch oven, brown beef and onion til beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding water if desired to reduce thickness. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for an hour.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with cheese. Serve with smoked gouda, green chiles, and smoked paprika buttered corn bread.

Have FUN out there today, but remember to be smart about it.

I wish you peace and love,
