Dinner in a Pumpkin

This is a delicious, warm meal for a fall evening (especially Halloween!).

Dinner in a Pumpkin!
1 small to medium pumpkin (cut off top and clean out seeds)
Make sure you select a pumpkin that has a stem. It will make a great handle for your lid.

2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 can sliced mushrooms (4 ounces)
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups cooked rice

Brown meat and onion in a large skillet.
Drain fat and add soy sauce, brown sugar, mushrooms, soup and rice.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Paint a face on the pumpkin with permanent markers.
Fill the inside with the mixture.
Replace pumpkin lid and put on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 1 hour.
Serves 6 - 8
