Meal in a Pumpkin


My mother-in-law introduced me to this recipe many years ago. It is a fun one to make for Halloween. We have had this every year since the kiddoes were very small. I personally love it.
Ingredients:
1 10" pumpkin
1 onion, chopped
2 T oil
1 1/2-2lbs ground beef
2 T soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8oz can water chestnuts, drained
1 4 oz can mushrooms, drained (I like fresh)
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
Directions:
Saute onion in oil, add meat and brown. Drain and add all ingredients but the rice, water chesnuts and mushrooms. Simmer 10 minutes. Add rice, water chestnuts and mushrooms. PUt in cleaned out pumpkin. Bake at 350 for 1-1 1/2 hours with lid on. You'll know it's done when the pumpkin is soft.
