Fall Dinner in a Pumpkin

Medium sized pumpkin (4 lbs.)

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef

1/3 cup chopped green pepper

3/4 cup chopped celery

3/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tbs. brown sugar

1 4 oz. can mushrooms

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cups cooked rice

black olives

steamed carrot

whole cloves

fresh parsley

Using a sharp knife, cut lid from pumpkin and scoop out pumpkin seeds and excess membrane with a scraping tool. In a large skillet, combine ground beef, chopped green pepper, chopped celery, and chopped onion and cook over medium heat until ground beef is browned. Add next seven ingredients to skillet. Mix well and place mixture into pumpkin cavity. Place lid on pumpkin. Place pumpkin on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350*F for 1-1/2 hours. Just before serving, embellish pumpkin by placing (with toothpicks) black olives to make eyes, a steamed carrot to make a nose, and whole cloves to make a mouth. Use fresh parsley leaves to make hair around top opening. To serve, scoop out part of the baked pumpkin, along with the meat mixture, onto each plate.
