In the spirit of fall, this month’s Recipe Redux challenged us to create a recipe using fresh pumpkin. Like most people, when I think of cooking with the oh-so-familiar orange squash, I imagine opening a can of Libby’s canned pumpkin and making a typical fall treat, like pumpkin pie or bread. So this was truly an adventure to cook with the real deal!
While this recipe isn’t difficult, it does take some time. I suggest dicing the pumpkin and potatoes ahead of time, especially if you are making this for breakfast. The pumpkin provides a hint of sweet, the seasonings bring a touch of heat, and the bacon gives it all the flavor it needs to feel like a hearty breakfast!
