6 pounds pumpkin with fairly straight sides
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, diced
2 large stalks celery, diced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 pounds mozzarella cheese, cubed
16 ounces tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained
6 large mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup instant rice

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.
2
Wash the pumpkin and cut off the top at an angle to form a lid that won't fall through. Clean out and discard seeds and string.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, oregano, salt, and pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper; cook 3 minutes. Add mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, water, corn, mushrooms, and instant rice. Stir well.
4
Pour mixture from the skillet into the pumpkin and replace lid.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. When serving, scrape the insides of the pumpkin to get some of the soft flesh in each bowl.
