A nice change of pace, but a little bland for this tex-mex family!

Too sweet. I think next time I will try it without the sugar because I liked the other flavors- then maybe it would be a five star.

This dish was fantastic! I used meatless crumbles rather than the ground beef. I also cut the sugar by half and added some cumin. Everyone loved it - no leftovers!! I will make a bigger batch next time!

Love this recipe. I was hesitant at first, but brought it to a family party. Everyone loved it, expecially my super picky brother. It is so unique! I kept everything exactly the same as written.

This is delicious. I entered this in a chili contest and won! I added a bit of orange juice (1/4 cup?), a bit more pumpkin, and almost doubled the seasonings. I added 1 t. of cumin, and a sprinkle of ginger too. I love this recipe.

I won an "Iron Chef" competition with this (the secret ingredient had to be pumpkin - was totally unique!) Did add a few things though - 2 cloves minced garlic FULL can of the pumpkin puree "dash" of kosher salt and a lot more chili powder ....delicious and unique!

I would make this again for sure, but maybe add a little more kick with some added spice. I cut the sugar in half, and added a teaspoon of cumin. Husband loved it...couldn't put his finger on the secret ingredient. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this recipe! I doubled the pumpkin (I used homegrown pumpkins), added more sugar and a bit more chili spice. I also used jalapenos instead of bell peppers. Yum! I've already made 3 batches and plan to make more. I so recommend this fabulous recipe.

This is an awful recipe. It took alot of tweaking to make it edible and it turned out fine, but I had to make alot of changes. Will not be making again.

This chili is great and customizing makes it better.I used orange bell-peppers bc it visually gave the idea of pumpkin.I added cumin and used brown sugar to give more authentic pumpkin pie taste. The whole recipe is nothing without the pumpkin pie spice-that is the main distinguishing flavor. In fact the pumpkin puree does nothing for flavor only texture. People want to know there really is pumpkin in the chili. I entered this in a competition and won a prize- tasters like the originality, seasonality (in Oct.), and different flavor from others:-)

I'm giving this a 4-star rating b/c of the ingenuity! Who woulda thought to add pumpkin puree to chili! What a wonderful idea! We had to leave the beans out, as we have family allergies to those & the green pepper, so we added twice the amount of meat called for. We omitted the pie spice & sugar b/c we tend to like things like this more savory than sweet. We seasoned our meat w/salt & pepper as we were browning it. We went easy on the chili powder b/c we have a 14 month old, added a little cayenne & cinnamon per other reviewers' suggestions. I myself would suggest to leave cinnamon out if you like savory things more - it does add this 'sweet taste' to the chili which we didn't love, but handled; I think it's b/c we're used to cinnamon being in sweet baked goods - not that it really makes it 'sweet.' I guess chili's just the kind of dish you have to tweak to your liking. But really a great idea - a good way to sneak in lots of Vitamin A into your family's diet. Thanks for the recipe!

This was ok, the kids didn't appreciate it much though. Seemed too sweet, and I left out the sugar! Would try again, maybe with more pumpkin and more seasoning.

I doubled the pumpkin because I really like pumpkin, but other than that this recipe is just perfect! What a delicious and different cozy comfort food. Perfect for warming up a cold evening!

I was trying to use up cans of pumpkin after Thanksgiving. This was really good, but next time I would omit the pumpkin pie spice.
