Brad and I heard an episode of Good Food on KCRW and they were talking about a pumpkin recipe called "Pumpkin Stuffed With Everything Good". Once we heard the words cream, cheese, bacon and pumpkin, we knew we had to try it. As expected, this was a spectacular dish. You can either serve it in the pumpkin (everyone spoons out their servings), or you can serve it cut up. We substituted sausage for bacon, and used Gruyere for the cheese.We served the pumpkin with a side dish of brussel sprouts with cranberries, walnuts and bacon. Click here for the recipe.
Ingredients
1 pumpkin, 2½–3 lbs
Salt and freshly ground pepper

¼ lb cheese, such as Gruyère, Emmenthal, cheddar, or a combination, cut into ½-inch chunks
2–4 garlic cloves (to taste), split, germ removed, and coarsely chopped
4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, drained, and chopped (my addition)
About ¼ cup snipped fresh chives or sliced scallions (my addition)
1 Tablespoon minced fresh thyme (my addition)
About 1/3 cup heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
