Larry’s Pumpkin Chili

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice
• 1 (28 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 jalapeno, diced 
• 1 serrano pepper, diced

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef, drain, and add to crock pot.  
2. In the same pan cook the onion and pepper until soft, and add to the crock pot.  
3. Add all remaining ingredients and cook on high for at least 4 hours.  Can also cook overnight on low.   

If I am making it for people who like it hot, I quadruple the peppers.
