Dinner in a Pumpkin
My mom made this every Fall when I was growing up. For those who have never heard of it-it may seem a little weird, but it is easy and soooo good.
You need one medium size pumpkin (make sure it can fit in your oven) scraped out, saving the top.
Saute the following in butter:
water chestnuts
mushrooms (about 4 oz)
3 gloves pressed garlic
small onion chopped
1-2 cups chopped peppers (any variety of colors)
1 tsp salt
Add 2 lbs ground beef and cook through
When meat is cooked and vegetables are tender stir in:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 TBS brown sugar
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups hot cooked rice
Place inside pumpkin and cover with pumpkin lid. Bake 375 for one hour. Enjoy!
LOL I'm such a retard, I didn't put main dish in label, I put it as subject. Sorry Linds I'm screwing up your blog already!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fun! I am going to try it this week! How many does it serve?
ReplyDeleteWhatever! Like I care, besides it's an easy fix!
ReplyDeleteWell growing up it fed my parents and 5 kids...recently I've only done it for me and my husband and it has enough leftovers for a couple days so probably 4-6 adults. If the pumpkin is pretty deep and wide you could probably double it if you wanted to! PS thanks for the edit Lindsay!
