The Best Halloween Pumpkin Chili

I always make chili on Halloween so I can enjoy the night and have very little clean up. This chili is a great option as it has an entire can of pumpkin in the chili! It’s an added bonus of vitamin A and the last healthy food item your kids will have for at least 24 hours!!

1 medium onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

2 cans of black beans

1 can of organic pumpkin

1 can of garbanzo beans or pinto beans

1 pound ground beef, turkey or chicken

Frank’s hot sauce (if desired)
