Dinner in a Pumpkin

We have a special holiday we like to call "Pumpkin Day" and we are just about to leave to go pick out our pumpkin!
Several people have asked about this recipe, so I thought I'd share with anyone who has a pumpkin left after Reformation Day!

1 Medium Pumpkin2 lbs. hamburger, cooked and drained

Diced onions, and celery to taste

1/4 c. soy sauce

2 T. brown sugar

1 4oz. can sliced mushrooms (drained)

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cups hot cooked rice

Preheat oven to 375. Cook rice. Cut a lid for the pumpkin. Using an icecream scoop or large spoon, remove the seeds and pulp. Dice onions and celery. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, onions, celery, mushrooms and soup in a large bowl. When rice is finished cooking add and the beef to the mixture of soup and veggies. Spoon mixture into the pumpkin, place it in a medum pan or on a cookie sheet. Bake one hour until the pumpkin is tender. Scoop out to serve.

I hope this will be a favorite this year for RG!
