Tracy was talking about this at StrollerFit the other day recipe and it sounds great, so try it out, I am making it on Halloween for a healthy meal.
Ingredients:
1 standard Sugar Pumpkin (top cut off, cleaned out (save the seeds) seasoned inside with salt &
pepper
1-6oz box of Uncle Ben's Long Grain and wild rice original recipe with 23 herbs and seasoning
12-16 oz of lean ground beef, pork or turkey
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
brown the ground beef and drain off the excess fat. cook rice according to directions and mix with the cooked ground meat. Fill the pumpkin without packing it tight and pop the top back. Wrap the stem in foil so it does not burn. Place the pumpkin in a pan with about an inch of water. Bake 60-75 minutes. Test by taking the top off and check the pumpkin with a fork, cut a small piece from the wall and taste to see that is not to firm. Over cooking will make it mealy, so if you put it back in, check after 10 minutes.
Let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Skin will Peel off nicely after it has cooled and then make a slice to serve with the filling.
Baked Pumpkin is a great source of Vitamin A.
Clean the seeds and dry with a paper towel, lay flat on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt (to taste) and bake at 200 degrees til crispy. let cool and enjoy a healthy snack
