Dissie the pumpkin contained a meat mixture. The recipe is not mine and posted on Celtic Radio's cooking forum. I will ask the person whom it belongs to if I can copy it to here.

Stuffed Pumpkin

Post by Shadows1 » Sun Aug 04, 2013 12:49 pm

Here is the recipe for that pumpkin using an oven, we just set the pumpkin directly on coals and follow the pricl test mentioned.

Stuffed Pumpkin

1 pumpkin - roughly the size of a basketball.
1 medium onion, chopped.
2 c. rice (I use wild rice), cooked.
1/2 lb. loose sausage
1/2 lb. ground beef/buffalo/venison/what have you
bread crumbs
about three eggs
salt, pepper, seasoning to taste (I like sage, fennel, garlic, onion, red pepper and celery seed)

Clean the pumpkin like you would for a jack o'lantern. Keep the lid. Mix all the above meats together like you would for a meatloaf, except you...don't shape it into a loaf. Instead stuff the pumpkin with the mixture. Leave about an inch on the top to let it expand a little with cooking. Replace the lid. Place the pumpkin in a baking dish with about an inch of water in the bottom. Bake at 375 till you can easily poke a fork into the pumpkin (and it actually lets go). Remove from oven and let it cool about 20 minutes before serving. Remove lid. Serve in slices with butter, some like brown gravy with theirs.

Did you know that your Dutch Oven can be used in your fireplace or on top of your wood stove if it has a flat top?

We do this often to stay in practice incase of power outages. It also can save on utility bills by not turning on your oven or stove top.
Give it a try.
