WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Pumpkin Black Bean Chili

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Black Bean Chili (0 WW Freestyle SmartPoints)

I made a few modifications to the original pumpkin black bean chili recipe to make it work with what I had around. I also wanted to try to make the batch a bit smaller so we wouldn't be swimming in chili 🙂

Skinny on Simply Filling Slow Cooker Pumpkin Black Bean Chili

The recipe calls for 2-½ cups of chopped cooked turkey. I replaced it with 1-½ cups chopped leftover cooked lean chicken I had in the freezer.

I also used 1 can of black beans instead of 2, and cut back a little on the chicken broth.

Both Rod and I liked this chili a lot.

Served with slow cooker cornbread, it really hit the spot.

Satisfying, but not as heavy as traditional chili. And like most chilis, it tasted even better leftover.

Nobody would ever guess that this slow cooked black bean chili has pumpkin in it. But it helps to make it thicker and less "tomatoey."
