Dinner in a Pumpkin

Last min dinner ideas for Halloween!

Dinner in a pumpkin is what I grew up eating on Halloween Night.

Here's the recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 small-med pumpkin

1 can mushrooms, sliced and drained

1 onion chopped

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 Tbsp Veg. oil 1 1/2-2 cups cooked rice

1-2 lbs ground beef

8 oz. sliced water chestnuts

2 T. soy sauce

2 T brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Saute onions in oil until tender. Add meat and brown. Drain the meat. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, mushrooms, and soup. Simmer 10 min, stirring occasionally. Add cooked rice and water chestnuts. Spoon mixture into pumpkin on baking sheet. Bake 1 hour or until pumpkin meat is tender.

Serve, scooping out pumpkin with the meat mixture.

Serves 6.

* You can do this with a pumpkin that has been painted with acrylics or permanent marker.

I'll be serving this tonight with these yummy hotdog mummies!
