Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili

http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/black-bean--n--pumpkin-chili

My family is crazy about this slow cooker chili because it uses ingredients you don't usually find in chili. Believe it or not, I discovered that pumpkin is what makes the dish so special. Cook up a big batch and freeze some for later; it tastes even better reheated. —Deborah Vliet, Holland, Michigan
