Chili + Pumpkin Cornbread

This is the perfect meal for the week of Halloween or really any evening in Fall. I'll be the first to admit it's still a little warm out to fully enjoy chili and cornbread, but the good news is the recipe I make is a crock pot special...so it requires very little time in the kitchen. 

Chili Mixture:

1/2 white onion, chopped

1 lb lean ground beef 

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 (16 ounces) can refried beans

1 (15 ounces) can chili beans 

*I used Bush's grilling' beans, bourbon and brown sugar

1 (10 ounce) can diced fire roasted tomatoes

1/2 cup tomato sauce

Directions:

Mix all of the ingredients together in the crock pot. 

Set on high for 5 hours. 

Servings: 

6-8

Prep Time: 

5 minutes

Total Time: 

5 hours (crock pot time)

 Trader Joe's knew what they were doing when they started selling a PUMPKIN cornbread mix. Yes, you read that right...Pumpkin cornbread. Simply pick up a box and follow the instructions. I always opt for muffins instead of a traditional loaf, the leftovers make a nice portable snack for the babes.  

If you follow this recipe for your own dinner soon, let me know how it turns out!
