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.

ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 cup salsa
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, salsa, onion, egg, cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix well to combine (do not overwork the meat or it may end up crumbly).
Shape the meatloaf into an 8x4-inch loaf and place in a shallow baking dish (or loaf pan).
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F or until fully cooked in the middle.
Serve hot.
If desired, you can spoon some additional salsa over the top of the meatloaf before cooking.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow 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.

This was really a great recipe. The only change I made was to substitute 1 tsp. taco seasoning for the 1 tsp. garlic powder. It was moist, tasty and my husband loved it. I also used 2% milk cheese instead of whole milk cheese.
