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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

We forgot this needed to be chilled when we started making it so we skipped that step (and it turned out fine). Chilling it will help keep the cheese from melting as fast though. Flavor was excellent. The coating mixture had a nice spicy kick to it that really made this a unique dish.
