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.

I made this for July 4th, grilled on my George Foreman grill. We don't drink beer so I substituted condensed beef broth for the beer - it was delicious!
