Dinner In A Pumpkin
With the fall here, I would like to share a recipe I found in a cookbook I found at a antique store. I am going to make it for the first time.
I hope you all try it too!
You will need:
1 med. pumpkin (10-12) pounds.
2 pounds of lean ground beef.
1/2 tsp. salt.
1/3 cup of chopped celery.
1/3 cup of onion.
1/4 cup of soy sauce.
1 (4-oz.) can of sliced mushrooms, drained.
1 can of cream of chicken soup.
2 Cups of hot cooked rice.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a 3 inch opening in the stem end of the pumpkin (like you would for making a jack-o-lantern), reserving the top piece. Remove and discard seeds and pulp. Brown ground beef in a pan. Add celery and onion and cook until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients and spoon into pumpkin. Lightly grease a 10 inch circle in the center of the baking sheet. Place filled pumpkin on greased pan. Bake 1 hour or until pumpkin is tender. To serve, spoon some of the cooked pumpkin and meat filling onto plates. Serves 6 to 8.
( As far as the top piece, it did not mention whether to put it on while baking. I may leave it off and use it for a cover after I take it out).
The pic is a homemade turkey with feathers : )

Sounds interesting. Let us know what you think.
That does sound interesting. I don’t really eat much read meat, wonder if chicken would work?
You will have to let us know how it turns out! Enjoy!! 🎃
Sounds as if it could be yummy; a little strange but yummy.
I'll repeat this part of the message on the Comment Wall. I've just added a new category to the Index called "Holiday Meals". Anyone who has good ones made for holidays (not just Thanksgiving or Christmas but all holidays), this might be a good time to put them up.
Sounds like it would be an interesting experiment. One of my favorite Fall dinners is pumpkin soup, along with Fry Bread, of course.
I've done this, it's delish. But I used smaller pumpkins so that we could quarter them after cooking and place the quarter on the plate.
I like this idea but I think I'd do the meat separately. Maybe use some figs and nuts in the rice mix and have a nice protein on the side.
