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.

I was worried that the crab might overcook in the oven but this turned out great. The only thing I did different was to use monterery jack cheese instead of the chedddar because thats what I had on hand
This was superb. I used Parmesan cheese and changed the sour cream to heavy cream with a little whipped cream cheese. It was so easy and delicious. A new favorite at our house.

I made the recipe as written and found it to be surprisingly easy to make. I had all of the ingredients available and the whole family enjoyed it. We will be having this again soon.

We really liked this recipe. We only had ranch sour cream at the time so we ended up using that and hence needed to decrease the salt(to 3/4 tsp) and basil (to 1/2 tsp). We really liked our changes but we are sure it would have been great the original way as well. Thanks for a great recipe!
