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.

Make it a little beefier by adding low sodium beef broth instead of water! Serve the pork chops on a bed of mashed potatoes (and drench it all in the gravy)

Instead of adding water, I added same amount of orange juice, no pulp. Gave it an extra kick. Gooood.
