Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
4 cans (15 ounce size) flat Italian green beans
6 slices bacon, cut up
1 onion
1/4 cup red wine
salt
black pepper
dried or fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 can water
directions
Cut and fry onions.
Cut bacon with scissors into frying pan. Add hamburger meat, salt, pepper, fresh or dried parsley, red wine, smashed garlic cloves and olive oil. Cook until bacon, onions, hamburger and seasoning are brown.
Then drain and add the green Italian flat beans to mixture as well as the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Cover, but let steam from the lid escape (don't cover all the way).
Stir every so often on low to medium heat. Be careful not to burn. Check to see when beans are finished cooking. Put in a bowl, keep warm and serve.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
