Dinner In A Pumpkin

This is a tradition that we started in our family for Halloween night. We always have this for dinner. Your kids will love it!

1 1/2 to 2 lbs of ground beef, browned
2 Tbs. Soy Sauce
2 Tbs. Brown Sugar
2/3 c sliced button mushrooms
1 box Uncle Bens Wild Rice, prepared according to package directions
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 to 2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 medium pumpkin

Brown ground beef in a skillet. Prepare Wild Rice according to package directions. While these two things are cooking, thoroughly wash and clean out your pumpkin (just as if you were carving it). To your browned ground beef add soy sauce, brown sugar and soup (if you like your casserole really "soupy" use two cans). In a large bowl combine rice, mushrooms and water chestnuts. Finally, mix with hamburger mixture. Pour into pumpkin, replace pumpkin lid and bake at 350 for 1 hour.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
