What should I make for dinner if I'm making pumpkin pie for dessert?

It's a long story but I have to make pumpkin pie for dessert. I was looking for some suggestions for dinner to go with that. If you have something quick and EASY that would be even better. Please include step by step recipes if possible. Oh, one more thing please don't say make a turkey that's so cliche. Thanks for your help guys and gals.What should I make for dinner if I'm making pumpkin pie for dessert?
How about this...it's a yummy casserole I call ';pasta pie'; that I learned on an episode of Martha Stewart years ago.





I substitute Jimmy Dean Spicy Sausage in place of the supprasatta sausage in the recipe. Fry it up in a pan and crumble it up before you stir it in.





I skip the cake pan and parchment paper and just bake it in a 13 X 9 casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray (you may have too much and need another dish to bake the rest in). Cut in squares and serve with a side salad, if you like.





It's yummy hot comfort food like lasagna....perfect for a chilly Autumn day and a dessert pumpkin pie with coffee!





Best of all....your house will smell so yummy!

make sure it is thawed out and roll it in Kfc seasoning flour ,But if you don't have that roll it in flower and salt and pepper the flour.you can either Fry it in the skillet with 2 table spoons of Vegetable oil or bake it,Spray the bottom of the pan and bake it for 20 minutes.I like to deep fry mine and then stick it in the oven to keep warm while finishing up my other food.

This mushroom soup is really simple, and makes a thick, creamy textured soup. Water can be added after cooking to make a thinner soup, or try adding cream if you like. I make this in a wok but you can use a stock pot, whichever you have available. Serve hot with toast.';

i dont know about quick...but its definitely easy: pot roast in the crock pot. it would be really good before the pumpkin pie...you just leave it in the crock pot all day, eat, then have pie!!!
Put a roast (size depends on how many people) in the crockpot with big chunks of onion, baby carrots, garlic salt and pepper, 1/2 cup of steak marinade (like Dales or Moores). High heat for 8 hours.





Fix mashed potatoes and gravy. Use the juice from the roast to make your gravy.





Green beans (the longer they cook the better) you may have to add water as they boil down. Season with olive oil, minced onion, salt and pepper.





Serve it with dinner rolls and iced tea.
I am 22 weeks pregnant and have been big on chicken lately, so I immediately thought of chicken. If you want quick, get a rotisserie chicken from your deli or wherever. I get mine from Wal-Mart for like $5. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy, or baked potatoes or any kind of veggies. I had some grilled zucchini the other day that was pretty good.
