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 great, very enjoyable. I thought the black olives were a little out of place. But since this was Italian sausage, and not bratwurst, they seemed to add to the flavor quite well. One note: I used rather large bell peppers and had quite a bit of those leftover after just four buns and sausages. One of each probably would have been sufficient.
