Fall is almost synonymous with chili. A warm bowl of chili is the perfect meal to curl up inside and enjoy on a cold day. Using a crockpot makes this chili super easy. The smokey poblano pepper gives the chili a kick and balances the sweet pumpkin. This poblano pumpkin chili is the perfect mix of spicy and just a little sweet with fall flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon.
