Canned pumpkin is a pantry staple. Some people enjoy making pumpkin puree from scratch, but that can be time-consuming. It’s so much easier to grab a can from the closet when a pumpkin fix needs to be satisfied. From hummus to muffins, chili to biscuits, pumpkin can be incorporated into a variety of recipes. Here are 23 recipes you can make with canned pumpkin. Before cooking or baking, though, check the label of the can to make sure it isn’t pumpkin pie filling. The packaging looks similar. Canned pumpkin pie filling is sweetened with fall spices added.

The addition of toffee sauce, though, makes it even better." - The Kitchen Crew

Turkey-Pumpkin Meatloaf
"I was hungry for meatloaf and thought I had all of the ingredients on hand to make my old standby from Quaker Oats cookbook (which I make with turkey instead of beef). Lo and behold what I thought was tomato sauce lurking in the back of the pantry turned out to be something else. I didn't want to go out to the store and I dislike catsup in my meatloaf. I had a partial can of cooked pumpkin leftover from another recipe, so I decided to give it a try. Turned out very moist." - Mikekey
