I wanted to share one of our Halloween traditions: Every year I buy one extra pumpkin to be hollowed out. I fill it with precooked chili, take the top rack out of the oven and bake the chili in the pumpkin for about 45 minutes or until the chili is hot. It gives the chili a slight pumpkin flavor. And its a warm meal before going out into the cold air to trick or treat, plus it makes the house smell of pumpkin, and starts everyone out on stomachs full of hearty food before they are tempted with all of that candy!
