This is a great recipe for chilly fall nights. I also make it for Halloween night, and my kids even eat the vegetables when I prepare this, as they love pumpkin. This recipe came from a school cookbook.
Ingredients:
1 (8 lb) pumpkin
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups tomato juice
3 cups shredded cabbage
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup uncooked rice
Directions:
1. Wash pumpkin, cut off top and scrape out seeds and stringy portion and discard.
2. Cook ground beef slightly and drain off fat.
3. Add onion and garlic and saute lightly.
4. Add seasonings and tomato juice.
5. Heat through.
6. Mix with uncooked rice.
7. Layer 1/3 each of the cabbage, potatoes, rice and meat mixture in pumpkin.
8. Repeat layers and replace lid.
9. Bake at 350' for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until done.
10. Pumpkin is done when it is soft when pierced with a fork.
