The last couple weeks our weather in Texas has definitely been on the cooler side. I can honestly say I'm enjoying the much needed change.
With summer far behind us it's time to start thinking about comfy casseroles and hearty soups, stews and chili's. Oh how I LOVE this time of year.

Today I want to share a recipe with you that's quick, easy and fall inspired .
This Quick & Easy Pumpkin Chili is a recipe that I’ve put together for Bush’s Beans, along with the help of my friend and chef Connie Guttersen.

I had so much fun bouncing around meal ideas with Connie, that it was so hard deciding
on just one dish.
on just one dish.
I love cooking and baking with pumpkin, so pumpkin chili was the dish I settled on. Pumpkin can be used to make cakes, muffins, breads, pancakes, puddings, lattes and even smoothies.
Did you know that you can also cook with pumpkin? I've tasted pumpkin chili, but hadn't actually made it myself.
Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber and high in beta-carotene, vitamins, potassium and magnesium. I think it's a great addition to chili.

Add beans and now you have the health benefits of protein as well. In this case two varieties of beans, pinto and kidney.
The goal for today's recipe was quick and easy without any stuffy ingredients. I kept it simple and used mostly pantry items I had on hand.
I always have a stock of Bush's beans, tomatoes, broths and a variety of seasoning packets, so this recipe was easy. I like to use fresh pumpkin, but again keeping quick and easy in mind I went with canned.
From start to finish this pumpkin chili came together in just 30 minutes! Who doesn't love that? This recipe only requires a few steps, so lets get started.

How do I print a recipe? I clicked on the "print" button; it took SIX pages to print the recipe. I'm looking for a way to print just the recipe. I don't need the pictures or the narrative.
Thanks
You need to check the box that says "remove images". It wil still print the intro, so I can't help you on that part. I do know if you just want the recipe you can highlight the recipe text and right click on your mouse, select print and check selection. You will get just the text you highlighted.
This recipe has always intrigued me. Since you are the one recommending it, I trust you, and guess I'll have to make it soon. Thanks for sharing - your photos are sooo yummy. I want some now!
Me too Marsha. It was so good and you couldn't even tell the pumpkin was added. We have a new favorite chili recipe. It's a great way to add some extra fiber and vitamins.
