Do you think I got too big of a pumpkin, lol!
It did bake down after 2 1/2 hours! I put in the pre-fried (in olive oil) fresh garlic, onions, and lean hamburger meat. I also put in summer squash, red bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, cauliflower, and the rice. Whoops, it was not "quick" rice. So, I think that is why it took so long to have it finally be cooked!
No, that's not oatmeal, ha! Even Jerry stayed at bay, ha (only a picture!) It did taste very good! I think next time I will not need to put as much water (2 cups for the rice.) The vegetables have water in them! Also, I will get a smaller pumpkin, lol!
