Today is a special day so let’s wish a Happy Birthday to Julie from This Gal Cooks! A bunch of her blogger friends are helping her celebrate by contributing pumpkin recipes – one of her favorite ingredients (links below). And who doesn’t like pumpkin, right??
Recently the September/October Rochester’s Women Magazine came out and I found this recipe that looked intriguing to me – I have never heard of a pumpkin chili so decided to give it a try. A did tweak it a bit because we like spicy and I wanted to use some of the canned tomatoes I just put up.

I love chili and pumpkin 🙂 This looks great!
Julie @ This Gal Cooks says
Oh this looks so good, Deb! I like that it uses pumpkin pie filling. I don't think I've ever seen a recipe that uses actual pumpkin pie filling. They all ask for puree! What a great recipe. Thank you so much for making this for my birthday celebration. Pinning and sharing on all of the social media!

Alice Emma Thompson says
I'd been hoping that we would have enough pumpkins in the garden for eating and Halloween but so far not single one made it past golf ball stage 🙁 But the chilli and the other ideas do look yummy!
