a stuffed pumpkin

You start with a pumpkin and take out the insides....




Then fill it with a "stuffing" and bake for an hour and a half.



Put it on a pretty plate and serve.


I toasted the seeds and made some homemade bread to go along....total comfort food!


My stuffing:
about 1 lb. cooked hamburger
about 2 cups cooked rice
diced onions
diced green peppers
mushrooms
about 1 cup dried stovetop dressing
1 can creamed soup
salt / pepper
few shakes of soy sauce

mix it up and put it all in the pumpkin....cook 350 degrees.


My friend Tammy did this for her family last week and it looked too fun to cook! I don't think you could mess this recipe up in any way, I even cheated and used publix frozen bag of chopped up onion and green peppers and their bag of frozen mushrooms! If I do it again I am thinking some cooked sausage would be good in it.

Fall

This is fall.....right?

We filled up the pool out back and let the sun shine on our spirits today. It felt good to feel good again.
