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.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
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.

We made this at the Assisted Living Facility and the residents LOVED it! They all took the recipe to send to friends and relatives. @ differences - we substituted crushed chiles and added the cheese all at the same time and baked. Excellent! Thank you!

I have been making this for about 20 years- it is a family and company favorite. People rave about it. It is also pretty flexible- you can substitute ingredients, doubles and triples with ease. In a pinch I have substituted peperoncini peppers for the green chili, and it wasn't noticeable. Try this- it's great! My copy of the recipe came with a suggestion to serve it with Baja Chicken- also a Nancy Reagan recipe-they're fabulous together!
