This chili turned out amazing. The polenta gives it a wonderful thick and creamy texture, and the pumpkin pie spice gives it a unique flavor. I can’t wait to have the leftovers. I bet the flavors will blend even more and have a stronger kick after brewing together even longer. This would taste wonderful with some cornbread on a chilly night. It would also make a great dish for a potluck or party! I think I might just have to enter this in the Blogger Secret Ingredient contest which is in Rhodey Girl’s control this week.
