Dinner in a Pumpkin #2

Scoop guts out of one medium or two small pumpkins. Begin baking them at 350 degrees while preparing the meat and rice on the stovetop to save time as the pumpkins need to bake for at least an hour, depending on size. Begin cooking 3/4 c. rice and water in one saucepan. In another, saute one diced onion. Brown ground beef and drain excess fat. Add: 2 TBSP soy sauce, 2 TBSP brown sugar, and 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup When rice is done, add that as well as 1 can of corn and 1 can of green beans. Remove pumpkin(s) from oven and fill with meat/rice mixture. Continue cooking until pumpkin is soft and easily pierced with a fork (about one hour total cooking time of pumpkin, give or take, depending on size). Serve by scooping out meat and rice mixture and slicing up pumpkin. I like to add a little salt and pepper to my pumpkin slice, and Thayne likes ketchup on his meat and rice.
