I just tried this recipe tonight (found off of Eric and E's blog), and it was awesome. I had a hard time knowing ahead of time how big of a pumpkin this would fill, and I ended up filling 5 total!!! (3 tiny ones pictured, and two that were about 5 pounders). Anyways, it makes a lot. Hurry and make this while you can still find pumpkins!!
Dinner in a pumpkin
1 smallish pumpkin (or several smaller ones... Sofia loved eating her own)
2 lbs. sausage or ground meat ( I used ground turkey italian sausage).
1 onion
3 cups cooked wild rice
8 oz baby bella mushrooms
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 oz sliced water chestnuts
Good glug of worcestershire sauce
Cut off a lid on the pumpkin and clean out. Slice onions and saute until tender, add meat and worcestershire and brown. Combine meat mixture with remaining ingredients and spoon into hollowed pumpkin. Put lid on, place pumpkin on a baking sheet and cook at 350 for 1 hour or until the inside meat of the pumpkin is tender.
Enjoy eating the pumpkin meat as well.
