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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

To the person who used 1 1/2 lbs of meat vs 1 lb, I used 1 1/2 pounds and didn't alter anything and the recipe turned out great. I'm guessing that adding more bread crumbs is why yours didn't turn out? It's a tasty meatloaf. The recipe doesn't specify how fatty the meat should be either so there is a chance one of us didn't use the same as the other which could be the difference. I used a mid-range (sorry, can't quite remember it was like 80-85%) fat content.
MUCH TOO SOFT! This is not a meatloaf you can slice. Since I was using 1 1/2# ground beef... I made adjustments. For the meat I used, I put in 2 jumbo eggs and twice as much toasted bread crumbs. I didn't add more shredded cheese. Cooked the meatloaf for over 1 1/2 hours. Extra cooking time does not firm up the meatloaf. A DISASTER! As I write this...it is being fed to the garbage disposer. A real waste of good food.
Not all recipes are easily scaled up/down so it may be that some of the ingredients shouldn't have been increased.
