black bean and pumpkin chili

I actually made this the other day when I went to Ft. Worth to run the marathon. I left it in the crock pot for the kids and Grandpa, but they didn't leave any left overs so I didn't get to try it. We have a ward chili cookoff tonight, so I'm trying it again. The boys said it was good. We'll see. - It was good. One of the better chilis I ate- didn't win any prizes, so I don't know where the tasty chili was, but it wasn't in the ones I put on the boys plates to try. This was good. Not too spicy, with a nice flavor, but part of the flavor was due to the bbq chicken. I have made this twice now and never managed to take a picture, so no picture.
