Crockpot Pumpkin Chili

Happy Halloween!

For the past three or four years, I have made chili on Halloween. I think it is because it is something easy! You can have it on warm while you are out trick-or-treating with the kids and not worry about it.

Here is a great crockpot chili recipe!!! This was my first time adding ground beef raw but it worked out nicely! I threw everything in my crockpot and walked away! I added the green chili’s in around noon, only because I did not have any at home and since I was using plain petite diced tomatoes I knew it needed a little something extra!
