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.

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.

As is, this recipe is a sweet corn bread. It would be a hit with kids if you are trying to get them to try new dishes. I really wanted a meal recipe to use up a can of creamed corn. This looked easy (and it was) so I cooked up a pound of ground beef, onion and green pepper and put that into the 13x9 pan and topped it with the recipe as stated. It turned out okay but, the recipe is quite sweet and the mix of my added savory and the sweet didn't quite work. The corn bread came out golden brown and crumbly. Next time I'll not fiddle with it.
