Years ago our friends had us over for dinner in the fall and made us this fun dinner and it has become a happy tradition
Dinner in a pumpkin
Cut lid from medium pumpkin, scrape out the inside of the pumpkin and discard what you scrape out.
Chop onion. I love the pampered chef chopper. Contact my friend Tina to purchase:) 801-380-9498. Her website is

This is another pampered chef tool I love called the mix and chop. It breaks up the hamburger into fine pieces and helps brown it so nicely.
Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, mushrooms, cream of chicken soup and cooked rice together.
Mix together with hamburger and onion and scoop
mixture into pumpkin.
Place lid on pumpkin. Place pumpkin on foil lined cookie sheet and bake in 350 oven for 1-1/2 hours or until pumpkin is tender because we eat that part too with butter and salt.
I usually have my kids draw a face on both sides of it before baking it and they love that.
The pumpkin darkens up nice and sometimes it oozes juice so be sure to line your pan.
add a little butter and salt or brown sugar to your pumpkin and it is delicious!
