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.

This is such an amazingly easy recipe but it is positively delicious. I've made it with the cheddar but also substituted swiss, which I think I like better. A spicy jalapeno jack cheese would probably be quite good too.
