Halloween Pumpkin Dinner

This is such a good fall food! I made this for Alison's baby shower. The time before I made it for my roommates -- I had scooped all the dinner out of the pumpkin into a bowl and turned to place it on the table. I dropped it and it went everywhere -- floor, cupboards, fridge, and ceiling! Oops.

Mom used to make this when we were kids. Very yummy on a cold evening.

Clean and scrape out:

A mid-sized (baking) pumpkin -- carefully cut the top off so that it will easily fit back again but you can throw away all the guts unless you want to make the pumpkin seeds. I haven't done that before though. Alison?

Combine and fry:

2 lb ground beef
2 1/2 t salt
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 t black pepper
2 t oregano
1 t vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 8-oz can tomato sauce

Be creative - you can leave stuff out or add more. Yum yum.

Spray the outside of the pumpkin lightly with pan spray and replace the top. Bake at 375 -->⁰ for 1 hour.
