Dinner in a Pumpkin -Heidi Pettingill
1 small (about 10 inch) pumpkin, clean out seeds
2 lb. ground chuck
6 oz. ground ham (we use one can of spam)
1 can tomato sauce
1 T. oil
2 t. ground oregano
2 cloves garlic minced
2 ½ t. salt
2 ½ T. onion
1 chopped green pepper
1 t. vinegar
1/3 c. chopped stuffed green olives
3 eggs, beaten
1 t. pepper
Combine all but the pumpkin and fry till tender. Add to pumpkin and bake at 350º for 1-1/2 hours with lid on pumpkin. Serve dinner from pumpkin. Pumpkin meat is similar to squash.
We make this every Halloween, it’s just kind of a fun recipe, and it can be altered to fit your likes too. My sister adds minute rice to the mixture which is good also.
