COOKING ON A "QUARTER" - Episode TWO

The Useful and Lovable Jack O'Lantern ~

PICK the size Pumpkin you want... I used one about the size of a soccer ball.

Clean the outside of your Pumpkin before you cut it! Rinse well!!

Bevel cut the top of your Pumpkin, by angling your knife in a downward direction.

Clean all pulp and seed from your pumpkin, set aside to clean later. Remember all is useful and very good and nutritious!

Choose and cook your MEAT
1- 1 1/2 pounds of Brown Ground Beef, Turkey, Chicken (shredded Roast Beef and Chicken work well too).

ADD:
1 - Diced large medium onion,
1 - Diced Medium/large Bell Pepper
1 TBLS Italian Seasoning
1 teas. Fresh or Dehydrated Garlic
1- teas salt
1- teas pepper.

One 32 OZ Jar Tomato based Marinara, or canned Spaghetti sauce.
ADD any left over cooked rice you have on hand in your refrigerator OR cook 1 1/2 cups of rice until done... then add to mixture and mix well. If too thick add a bit of H2O (water) or milk.

Spoon into your Pumpkin until 1 inch from top of ridge.

Bake at 350 - 375 degrees
depending on your oven until pumpkin is tender.
Approximately 1 1/2 -2 hours (depends on size of pumpkin)

I put a sheet pan under to catch any escaping juices. I also add water to the sheet pan to ensure the Pumpkin stays moist on the exterior. This is optional.

ENJOY!!! This really is awesome and children love it.
