 Slow Cooker Sausage and Pumpkin Chili

Nothing says fall like a good bowl of chili. This sausage and pumpkin chili is perfect for the autumn season and you’ll love the flavor that the Octoberfest beer adds to it.  You can make this in a crockpot or on the stovetop – either way it’s delicious! I love walking in the house after a long day to dinner already made in the slow cooker and this makes a yummy, warm dinner to come home to on one of our blustery Northwest fall days.
