Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 pounds pumpkin with fairly straight sides
¾ pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, diced
2 large stalks celery, diced
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
2 pounds mozzarella cheese, cubed
16 ounces tomato sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained
6 large mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup instant rice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.
  • Wash the pumpkin and cut off the top at an angle to form a lid that won't fall through. Clean out and discard seeds and string.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, oregano, salt, and pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper; cook 3 minutes. Add mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, water, corn, mushrooms, and instant rice. Stir well.
  • Pour mixture from the skillet into the pumpkin and replace lid.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. When serving, scrape the insides of the pumpkin to get some of the soft flesh in each bowl.
