INSTRUCTIONS
At the end of each month, The Cook & Kitchen Staff select some of the best recipes sent to Recipe-a-Day during the month, and post them to the entire membership. Today's offering is from an Anonymous Recipe-a-Day member maybe "anonymous" with good reason. Just when you think "Death-by-Pumpkin" week is finished for 1998, another recipe comes along that simply must be published. Our Anonymous member recommends that today's recipe is perfect for "a pumpkin slightly smaller than a soccer ball." So scour the markets for yet another perfect pumpkin and have some fun when you prepare today's interesting casserole-like presentation. Remove seeds and "stringy stuff" from inside the pumpkin. Wash the pumpkin well, inside and out, with water. Rub the inside of the pumpkin with a mixture of 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. dry mustard. (Pumpkin may be carved, but some of the stuffing may fall out!) Brown hamburger in a large skillet over medium heat until crumbly. Drain and reserve. Sauté onion in the same skillet, cooking until onion is almost transparent. Add rice, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. dry mustard, and pepper to the ground beef and mix well. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Stuff the pumpkin with the beef mixture. Bake in a 350-F degree pre-heated oven. Place pumpkin in a cake pan large enough to hold it. Pour 1/2 cup of water into bottom of pan. Bake for 1-1/2 hours. Add water as needed. Do not let pan get dry. Serve warm, in the pumpkin.
