1 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
3 cups chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoons smoked paprika

DIRECTIONS
Heat a large pot over medium heat, add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally.
When the bacon has rendered down and is a bit crispy, add minced garlic, sweet potato, onion, and peppers. (Do not remove the bacon fat from the pan.)
Allow to cook for 6-8 minutes, until veggies begin to soften.
Add sausage and spices, stir, and cook until sausage is cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
Add tomato sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, pumpkin puree, and broth.
Mix well and reduce heat to low. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes (or longer), stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry.
Serve hot, and garnish if desired.
Remember… as with any chili recipe, the flavor will only be better the next day!
