My friends at Hurst Beans sent me this recipe for Pumpkin Pinto Chili and it sounds delicious! This Halloween, I’m in a new neighborhood where everyone serves food and goodies to the adults who take the kids trick-or-treating. This is on my Halloween menu! (double batch) I think pumpkin is great in just about anything….what do you think?
- In a colander or sieve, rinse and sort through the pinto beans. Check for any unwanted debris and discard.
- Pour rinsed beans into a 4-6 quart slow cooker. Add ham hock, diced onion, & chicken stock.
- Strain the adobo sauce from the can of chipotle’s and add all of the sauce into the pot.
- Depending on the level of “spice” you desire, chop individual chipotle’s and add into the pot.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 8 – 9 hours or on High for 6 hours.
- After the beans are tender, remove the bone from the ham hock and add the ham back into the pot.
- Stir in the pumpkin, chili powder, & all-spice. Cook on low for additional 30 minutes, then keep warm until ready to serve.
