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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I'm currently making this recipe this year for part of my New Years Good Luck Dinner and I have to say as it cooks in my Crock Pot it smells amazing. I can hardly contain myself from wanting to eat it now. Thanks for the RECIPE. Happy New Years to all much success and many Blessings in 2013.

I tried this recipe today but, I added more ham and also some minced garlic with the leftover gravy and ham drippings from Easter,and some corn. Turned out very well. I used my own black-eyed peas that we grew from our garden last year, what a treat!

I prepared the recipe as it was printed. Was good and very easy to prepare. One I would make again.
