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 was delicious. I'm not a fan of tarragon, but it was all right in this recipe. It didn't need more fluid, however you wind up with a thick stew. I did have to modify it some, because in SC, 3 lbs of alligator is expensive. I used 1.5 lb alligator & 1 lb of crawfish tails. My tip--use kitchen shears to snip the alligator into 1 inch cubes, and either use a crock pot liner or spray the pot with Pam.
needs more fluid to cook in.
The crock pot will create steam which will increase the liquid amount as it cooks, plus the alligator meat will give off additional liquid. It's hard to tell from your comment if you actually tried it or are just speculating.
