Dinner in a Jack-o'-lantern
A savory stuffed pumpkin with a Halloween flare.
Ingredients
Pie pumpkin
Sharp cheese (I use bleu)
Stuffing Mix
Sausage
Chicken Broth
Open and Clean the Pumpkin
Take a washed pumpkin, slice a lid into the top with a knife.
Clean out the membrane and seeds.
Fry the Sausage
Fry the sausage and drain the grease.
Mix the Stuffing Ingredients
Add the drained sausage, cheese, and stuffing mix together.
Fill the Pumpkin
Take the cleaned pumpkin, add the stuffing mixture, and pack very tightly.
Add the Broth
Pour broth in slowly until no more can be absorbed.
Lid the Pumpkin and Put It in the Oven
Put the lid on the pumpkin. Let it sit loosely on the top.
Put the pumpkin on a cookie sheet and slid it into the oven.
Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about one and a half hours.
If your pumpkin is bigger, the best way to tell if it's done is to poke a fork into the side. Once it goes in easily, the pumpkin is ready
Carve the Baked Pumpkin Into a Jack-o'-lantern
The next step is just carving a jack-o'-lantern into the baked pumpkin.
Cut and Serve
After everyone has admired your clever meal, carve into wedges and serve.
A small pumpkin serves four.
