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 Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I have made this frequently for the past several years. It is good to cut up, put in a small sandwich ziplock & take to work as it can be eaten without a fork. It is not a real "quiche" and yes, it is thick. After reading Lulu's post, I may add some sour cream next time as it is already cooking in the oven! PS my son & daughter like it too!

Looks like this recipe forgot to add about 3/4 cup of cream, milk or condensed milk. Maybe 1 cup even....

There appears to be an ingredient missing from the recipe. The combined ingredient mixture is so thick; it can't really be poured into the pan. It has a consistency similar to cookie dough. It does not rise like a normal quiche.
