Dinner in a Pumpkin

1 medium pumpkin

1 chopped onion
2 pounds
ground beef
4 Tbsp
soy sauce
4 Tbsp
brown sugar
2can
cream of chicken soup
4cups cooked BROWN rice (or you can use white…I prefer brown since it’s healthier)
2 can sliced water chestnuts drained(optional)

2 can slice mushrooms(optional)

Cut off top of pumpkin and thoroughly clean out seeds and pulp. If desired draw a face on outside of pumpkin with permanent marker or acrylic paint. (This is a great thing to let kids help you with)
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet cook onions and hamburger until hamburger is cooked and onions are tender.

Drain
drippings. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and soup.
Simmer 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Add cooked rice and water chestnut, and mushrooms.

 Spoon mixture into cleaned out pumpkin shell.
Replace
pumpkin top and place entire pumpkin with filling on a baking sheet.


Bake 1-2 hours
(depending upon the size of the pumpkin) It will be done when the inside of pumpkin is tender. Put pumpkin on a plate. Remove pumpkin lid and serve meat and some of the cooked pumpkin.
