This was not a very good recipe. Very bland, had no taste. Added hot sauce to each time we ate it to give some sort of taste to it.

I made a double batch for Halloween dinner. Typically I make Pumpkin Chili with Chicken (My Recipes, Oct 2013) using butternut squash and most agreed, this one wasn't quite as good. Some people really enjoyed it. But I felt the flavors were a bit bland. I'm glad I tried it though.
