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.

1 3/4 pound raw ground dark meat chicken

1/4 cup snipped fresh basil
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme

12 small Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves
12 small bakery slider rolls or mini buns, split and toasted

directions
For Cranberry Ketchup: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, cranberries, mustard, ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and paprika.
Bring to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, then cover and set aside.
In a very large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Stir together maple syrup and pepper. Drizzle over bacon slices in skillet. Cover skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
Remove bacon from skillet. Cut bacon slices in half crosswise and wrap bacon in foil.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shallots, basil, salt, thyme, garlic and sage, mixing well. Shape into individual patties.
Place patties on greased rack gas or charcoal grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 12 to 14 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degrees F), turning once. During the last 2 minutes, add the bacon packet to the grill and top patties with cheese.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on each roll bottom. Top with a tomato slice and two pieces of bacon. Top with a burger and a spoonful of cranberry ketchup. Add roll tops.

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.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Made over 100 of these for a cocktail party I catered. I could have made 200 and they would have still all disappeared instantly. The client wanted chicken sliders but left the details up to me. She thought I was a genius! Don't worry, I told her I got the recipe here, I couldn't take credit for it. This is now a permanent item on my catering menu!
