Ingredients:


1 medium pumpkin, remove top and clean insides out
1 1/2- 2 lbs of ground beef 1 cup chopped celery
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
3 c. cooked rice

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup1/2 cup chopped or sliced mushrooms (omit if you aren't a mushroom fan)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce

salt and pepper 

Brown hamburger. In another pot, cook rice (white or brown) as directed on package. Chop and saute celery, onion, and green onion. Once tender combine vegetables with hamburger, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, mushrooms, brown sugar, soy and salt and pepper. Mix well.

Put mixture inside the pumpkin, replace lid. Place on baking sheet and into a 400 degree oven. Bake until pumpkin is tender (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Scoop out to serve, scraping sides of pumpkin to get the cooked pumpkin in the mixture. It is so good it melts in your mouth!

I cooked the pork roasts in garlic salt and coke all day, and then shredded them and cooked them in the barbeque sauce recipe I found online on foodnetwork.com:

Ingredients

 1 cup water
 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
 5 tablespoons light brown sugar
 5 tablespoons sugar
 1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
 1 tablespoon lemon juice
 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.

 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
 3/4 cup ketchup
 3 teaspoons brown sugar

 Slow Cooker Bajio Chicken

Ingredients

1. 5 chicken breasts
2. 1/2 cup salsa
3. 1 Tbsp cumin
4. 1/2 cup brown sugar (more to taste)
5. 1 4 oz. can diced green chilies
6. 6 oz. Sprite (1/2 can)

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Return to crock pot and cook 1 more hour. Thicken the juices with a little cornstarch mixed in water.
2. Serve with flour tortillas, lettuce, cheese, black beans and any other taco fixings.
3. If you want it spicier rather than sweeter add a hotter salsa and more green chilies.
