Manic Monday Meals ~ Pumpkin Chili & Cornbread

Well it really has been one heck of a weekend. I thought Sunday would be a relaxed day but then I looked at the date when I signed the kids into Sunday School and almost had a panic attack. I gave Racheal my amazing sewing wizard a call to help me put together a few quick projects. So needless to say I didn't get home until late then we had a special new visitor come to stay with us :). More to come on that!

Now for some yummy recipes for my favorite time of year! And of course my love of pumpkin! Ok hang in there with me it may sound a little weird but I promise it had a great flavor. Rick who doesn't like pumpkin didn't even complain, he did ask what the taste was but he kept eating :).

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic until tender. Stir in the turkey, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, and mix in tomatoes and pumpkin. Season with chili powder, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Serve topped with Cheddar cheese and sour cream.
ALEXIS NOTES: I only had a green pepper on hand, I used lean ground beef and I also added in a can of chili beans. We like chili with beans.
And what do you serve with this yummy chili!

  5. Those both sound good to me! I'd have to hide the pumpkin can, though, because my family would not even touch chili if they knew it contained pumpkin! LOL
