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.

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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
reviews & comments
Cream cheese comes in 4oz., 8oz., 12oz. and 16 oz. packages. Which size do you use for this recipe?
The rule of thumb when a recipe doesn't specify a package size is to use the most "common" size. In this case, the most common size of cream cheese is the 8 ounce size. That amount is also consistent with other cheesecake recipes.
