Stuffed Pumpkin for Lunch Tomorrow  

Wow, I have never even heard of anyone cooking a pumpkin. That is, except for using the innards to make pumpkin pie. My sister makes those homemade, from time to time. She is an excellent cook.

I am thinking of forwarding this to her and seeing if she might want to fix this for us this fall. She is so creative. It sounds like you are as well.

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.

I have never cooked a pumpkin in my life! I've eaten pumpkin pie, but never made it myself, and that's all I've ever done with pumpkin. Sounds interesting. I'd try it sometime, but my hubby is such a picky eater, I doubt he'd like it!

I have never even heard of stuffed pumpkin before. Stuffed potatoes are what I am used to. Seems you are on a cooking role indeed. .

All the best .

hi cynthiann that reminds me of my own ideas a few years ago. I bought me a small pumpkin, one of these lovely small orange ones, Hokkaido pumpkins, also cut off the lid, cleaned it out and then filled it with the pumpkin I cut out of the lid,cubed, and browned hamburger meat, and a bit of cooked rice mixed together. Then I put the lid on the pumpkin and baked it in the oven in an ovenproof dish with a little water in it. I didnt cut the pumpkin cause it was a small one but scooped the hamburger mix out of the pumpkin so the pumpkin was a nice edible bowl. lol

It's good u are staying busy. Your dish sounds very interesting, i have never had anything like that. I know i would love the stuffing but have never have had pumpkin anyway but in a pie & i don't care for pumpkin pie. I would sure try it tho. I bet u are a wonderful cook.

That sounds pretty good! I don't normally cook pumpkin in any fashion. Though know my middle wll get one from a farm this fall if they take the usual trip to the farm.
Though you never mentioned how high you filled the pumpkin or approx pounds of pork you used.
& lastly...... any left overws for me to try?

I made a casserole in a pumpkin once and I didn't like it at all....but your's sure sounds good! I think the pork in it would really be nice and tender and moist and have just a bit of the pumpkin flavor...sounds very good!

I've never heard of anything like that. But now I'm intrigued.

Stuffed zuccini is about as close as I have ever gotten. But not with a pork stew, with a ground beef meat loafy concoction...

Sounds delicious though.

Yes, two years ago we did dinner in a pumpkin for Halloween and I had a face on it and everything. This year I am having a Halloween party and will be making it again :). It was really good, we used ground beef, rice and some veggies, etc.
