Beef and Pumpkin Casserole
This is a deliciously haunting meal that is packed full of nutrients so that you are strong enough to keep the zombies away! One that will feed all the family this Halloween and make use of any leftover pumpkins. A good substitute for pumpkin is butternut squash so this is a meal that can be made all year round.
Enjoy!
