Beef, Pumpkin, and Sun Dried Tomato Chili
Overview
For a fresh, slightly sweet and smokey twist on Chili con Carne, try this multicultural extravaganza...a little bit Tex-Mex, a little bit Italian and a LOT of flavor. The sun dried tomato, sour cream and scallion garnish makes the color pop. I don't think I ever heard anybody say that about chili before.
