Were they the bright orange (Halloween) pumpkins? Or the dull, dusty
light orange (almost like yellow squash) "funny" shaped pumpkins? The
latter are what Libby processes and cans at their Morton, IL. plant.

Here's one I do as an alternative to bell peppers - using a close cousin
of the pumpkin.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Savoury Stuffed Squash
Categories: Squash, Beef, Rice, Vegetables
     Yield: 4 Servings

     4 sm Sweet Dumpling Squash; about
          - 8 oz each, seeded **
          Jarred marinara sauce

MMMMM--------------------------STUFFING-------------------------------
     1 lb Ground beef
   1/2 c  Chopped yellow onion
    16 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/juice
     6 oz Long-grain or Basmati rice *
   1/2 c  Water
     1 ts Salt
          Pepper
     1 ts Worcestershire sauce
     2 tb Dried parsley
 1 1/2 ts Dried basil

 * Or orzo pasta

 ** Small, mildly sweet-tasting squash resembles a mini-
 pumpkin with its top pushed in. It has cream-colored skin
 with green specks. Weighing only about 7 ounces, it has
 sweet and tender orange flesh and is a great size for
 stuffing and baking as individual servings.

 Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

 Cut tops from little squash; discard seeds. Chop the tops
 to add to the ground beef and onions, set aside. Cook the
 sweet dumpling squash, uncovered, in boiling water for 5
 minutes, then invert them on a rack in the sink to drain
 well.

 In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion and the chopped
 squash until meat is browned and vegetables are tender.
 Drain off excess fat. Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked
 rice, water, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, parsley,
 and basil.

 Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 mins
 or until rice is tender. Stuff peppers with meat mixture.
 Cover tops with jarred sauce and bake uncovered for 30
 to 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
