    Dinner In A Pumpkin


    Medium sized pumpkin (4 pounds)
    1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    1/3 cup chopped green pepper
    3/4 cup chopped celery
    3/4 cup chopped onion
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 Tablespoon brown sugar
    1 4-ounce can mushrooms
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    2 cups cooked rice
    Black olives
    Steamed carrot
    Whole cloves
    Fresh parsley

    Recipe





    Using a sharp knife, cut lid from pumpkin and scoop out
    pumpkin seeds and excess membrane with a scraping tool.

    In a large skillet, combine ground beef, chopped green pepper,
    chopped celery, and chopped onion and cook over medium heat
    until ground beef is browned. Add next seven ingredients to
    skillet. Mix well and place mixture into pumpkin cavity.

    Place lid on pumpkin. Place pumpkin on a foil-lined cookie sheet and
    bake at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 hours.

    Just before serving, embellish pumpkin by placing (with toothpicks) black olives
    to make eyes, a steamed carrot to make a nose, and whole cloves
    to make a mouth. Use fresh parsley leaves to make hair around
    like opening.

    To serve, scoop out part of the baked pumpkin, along with the meat mixture, onto each plate.

    Yield: 6 Servings
