Stuffed Pumpkin
• Easy Home Cooked Recipes
2 large potatoes
1 bay leaf
1 med onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 lbs ground beef and/or pork, mixed
1/2 tsp each cinnamon and cloves 
OR 1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 egg
1 10 inch diameter pumpkin

boil potatoes with bay leaf, peel and mash. Saute onion and garlic in butter until limp. Mix with potatoes. Cook meat until no longer raw, but not dry. Add to potatoes. Add seasoning and egg.
cut off top of pumpkin and clean out. Stuff with mix and replace top and bake at 350* for about 1 1/2 hours until pumpkin is very tender. Tent with foil if necessary to prevent over browning.
to serve, cut wedges top to bottom, stuffing will adhere to pumpkin shell...very nice presentation.

great idea 2 for 1

I do my tostada meat the night before - 

Dinner 1

1 1/2 lbs hamburger (or ground turkey) browned
taco seasoning
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
15 oz can kidney beans added at the end

I buy the tostada shells already fried. Add whatever you'd like on your tostada; cheese, tomatoes lettuce, dill pickles (yes, pickles!! don't knock it until you try it!!)

Night 2 - Hamburger soup 

Leftover meat/bean combo from the tostadas (you might want to do extra on night 1 so you have plenty)
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 can of white beans - it was just what I had in the pantry
1 beef boullion cube dissolved in one cup hot water
I added three more cups of water
2 SAZON Goya seasoning packets

Cook all day low in the crockpot. Serve alone or with a grill cheese sandwich!!

This is very similar to the taco stew also just posted so it you are interested in stew and not soup, you could use your leftover tostada meat for that instead.

think I will try this too

T2 Tbsp of real bacon bit 
1 tsp garlic minced 
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing mix 
can of cream of chicken soup 
1 cup sour cream 
4 boneless skinless chicken breast 
Egg Noodles, prepared 

Combine the first 5 ingredients. 
Pour over chicken in slow cooker.
Cook 3-4 hours on high or until chicken is cooked through. 
Serve over hot noodles

1/2 cup strong black coffee, or a freshly-brewed shot of espresso (per drink)
