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.

ready in:
2-5 hrs
2-5 hrs
ingredients
3 medium russet potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (10.75 ounce size) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 teaspoon beef flavor concentrate or equivalent base or granules
2 cans (14 to 15 ounce size) green beans, drained
shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
directions
Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Scrub about 3 medium russet potatoes and cut into small chunks, leaving the skin on. (If you cut the spuds into too large a size pieces, they will take too long to cook since everything else is basically done.) This makes one layer on the bottom of a 5-quart crock pot. Season spuds with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your own taste.
Brown ground beef with chopped onion, drain fat. Put on top of spuds. Mix one can of cream of mushroom soup with beef concentrate flavor. Drain green beans and put in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, stirring a couple of times. Turn to low and sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top of shepherd pie and cook for 30 minutes or so.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

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.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
