Pumpkin Chili

This recipe sounds interesting, I'm willing to try it. It may be just the recipe I need to get me into the "feel of fall". I'll post my results later but here is the recipe:

2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
2 cans kidney beans (I'm going to use black beans instead I think)
1 can tomato juice (46 oz.)
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 can pumpkin puree
pumpkin pie spice
chili powder(I think I will use cumin instead)
1/4 c. sugar (I'm not sure if I'll use this ingredient or maybe try a sample with a small amount of molasses instead first...)

simmer for 1 hour and serve.
