When my oldest granddaughter gave me eight of the 50 pumpkins she grew in her backyard, I didn't know how I'd use them all up! Then I remembered this recipe from a dear friend-I'm glad I tried it. I froze some of the pumpkin to use in this and other recipes, and also froze some of the sloppy joe mixture to enjoy later.-Eleanor McReynolds, Scott City, Kansas

PUMPKIN SLOPPY JOES



Pumpkin Sloppy Joes image

From perfect entertaining: This savory dish, a variation of Sloppy Joes with a Halloween twist is very flavorful and unique. Sloppy Joes don't have to go far to look slightly disgusting and messy, and this version is sure to please all those sloppy eaters. This is also a very low fat dish that is perfect to serve to mixed company. Kids will love the sloppiness and adults will appreciate the slightly more "grown up" flavor. This is great on rolls or thick slices of French bread, my preference.

  • Using pumpkin puree: Pumpkin puree can be used in a variety of recipes, such as pies, cakes, muffins, cookies, and soups. It can also be added to smoothies and oatmeal for a营养 boost.
