Pumpkin Stew (Cooked In The Pumpkin) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    10 -12 lbs pumpkin
    2 lbs beef stew meat
    2 tablespoons oil
    1 bell pepper, diced into large pieces
    1 onion, diced
    4 medium potatoes, cubed
    3 carrots, diced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 stalks celery, diced
    1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    2 -3 cups water
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Carve a hole in the top of the pumpkin; remove seeds and stringy inside, then set the pumpkin aside.
    Brown the meat in a Dutch oven, then add all the cut up vegetables, salt, pepper, and water. Let simmer 1 hour.
    Place pumpkin in shallow baking pan. Fill with the stew mixture. Brush the sides of the pumpkin with oil and cook on 350\u00b0F for 2 hours or until the pumpkin is tender. Serve.
    Be sure to get chunks of pumpkin in your stew as you serve it--this enhances the flavor.
