Pumpkin Chili

This recipe is from the University of Illinois Extension Program. The bright orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant, beta-carotene.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

½ cup chopped onion

1 can (16 oz) pumpkin

2 cups water

1 can kidney beans

1 pkg taco seasoning mix

1 ½ tsp chili powder

1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (optional)

½ cup low-fat sour cream (optional)

Cook meat and onion until brown in a 3-quart saucepan. Drain.
Add pumpkin, water, beans, taco seasoning mix, and chili powder.
Bring to boil. Cover and simmer 30 mins.
Garnish with cheese and sour cream.

Servings: 6
