"This recipe came from a Taste of Home recipe book. I made it for Halloween one year and my kids thought I was crazy! I served the stew in a pumpkin! This is easier than it sounds and looks great as a festive piece in the center of your table. It will give the guest's something to talk about! Follow my stew recipe or make your own. With stew you know there is all kinds of room for tweaking! "
