Dinner In A Pumpkin Recipe

	Mellian / All my dishes 2 years ago I made this for Halloween dinner 2006. It is very impressive with the meal inside the pumpkin. You serve by scooping out some of the beef mixture and getting some of the sides of the pumpkin in the scoop. Really REALLY good! I have recipes changes in my notes. ...

Ingredients

1 Medium size pumpkin, about 4 pounds

1-1/2 lb lean ground beef

1/3 cup chopped green pepper

3/4 cup chopped celery

3/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 TBL brown sugar

1 (4 oz) can mushrooms

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cup cooked rice

Decoration:

black olives

steamed carrot

whole cloves

fresh parsley

Directions

Cut lid from pumpkin, scrape out the inside of the pumpkin good and

discard what you scrap out.

In a large skillet brown hamburger, green pepper, celery and onion. Mix

salt, pepper, soy sauce, brown sugar, mushrooms, cream of chicken soup

and cooked rice together. Mix together with hamburger, green pepper,

celery and onion. Mix well and place mixture into pumpkin. Place lid on

pumpkin.

Place pumpkin on foil lined cookie sheet and bake in 350 oven for 1-1/2

hours.

When you spoon your portion, be sure and scrape and get some of the

cooked pumpkin too.

Optional: If you want to decorate outside of pumpkin. (I don't do this

though)

Using toothpicks use olives for the eyes, steamed carrot for the nose

and whole cloves for the mouth. Use fresh parsley around top for hair.

Mel's notes: Ok.. gotta lose the brown sugar and soy sauce. I had to use some Worchestershire to kill the "teriyaki" flavor. I think it would be better with cream of mushroom soup, too. It was still very, very good and the pumpkin rocks! Made this for Halloween 2006.
