A dish that combines venison, pumpkin, and cheese? Culinary Best Thing Ever.

Mmm, that sounds really good. I wonder if we can substitute chorizo for the venison and change the spices around enough to be able to omit the cheese...

[kiarrith]

As is doesn't require cheese, breadcrumbs/crumpled corn chips/whatever could be nice,or one of the nicer melting alt.cheese

[chiashurb]

You could just omit the cheese (but why would you?) The seasoning worked fine without it.

[teaotter]

Because without the cheese, this is a non-dairy, non-gluten thing my whole triad can then eat (assuming we use the home-made chorizo without pork, since Alice doesn't eat pork).

You should see our baked macaroni and cheese recipe now that we can't do wheat or actual cheese. It's still an awesome dish, and a remarkable testament to personal determination in the face of food-related adversity.

Sounds yum! but I would stuff it

I was originally going to, but by the time the pumpkin was baked enough to scoop, the skin was falling off.
