Dinner in a Pumpkin from Cindy
Ingrediants: 1 Medium size pumpkin, about 4 pounds 1-1/2 lb lean ground beef 1/3 cup chopped green pepper ¾ cup chopped celery ¾ cup chopped onion 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper ¼ cup soy sauce 2 TBL brown sugar 1 (4 oz) can mushrooms 1 can cream of chicken soup 2 cup cooked rice 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. Optional - If you want to decorate outside of pumpkin. 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. (I didn't do that) Be sure and scrape some of the inside of the pumpkin along with the hamburger mixture, it is sooo good. Sugar Says: People are like stained glass windows: They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, But when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light shining from within. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
