Casserole in a Pumpkin

Here's a recipe just in time for Halloween. We have made it each year around Halloween and love it!

1 pie pumpkin
1-2 lb ground beef
1/2 c onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
4 oz mushrooms
1 1/2 c cooked rice
9 oz water chestnuts

Brown the beef and onion. Add the soup, sugar, soy sauce, and mushroom. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cooked rice and water chestnuts. Put the mixture in your gutted pie pumpkin. Bake for 1-2 hours at 350.
