Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
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.

Can you use nutmeg instead of cloves
Try it and let us know how it works!
I enjoyed this recipe the 2nd time around. My first batch burt a hole through my container!!!
That's why the recipe specifies a "microwave-safe" casserole dish.

Just a couple batches divided up into little cellophane bags and tied with a red ribbon and my gift for all 10 teacher co-workers solved!

From experience I know my microwave always cooks faster so I used the lower time (4 minutes) and the pecans came out perfect. I later then tried a smaller batch and they did burn so lesson to be learned if you make the batch smaller reduce the time ... always better to put them back in for 30 seconds.

I followed this recipe to the letter but after only 2 minutes after mixing in the nuts my microwave was full of disgusting, burnt sugar smoke. Ruined the entire batch.
You need to watch it closely and stir more frequently if they burned.
