    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Line a baking sheet with foil.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Scrub the pumpkin with a clean vegetable brush under running water. Dry the outside of the pumpkin. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Cut the top off the pumpkin; save the top. Clean out the seeds and fibrous strands. Place the pumpkin on the baking sheet. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Place the mushrooms in a colander and rinse under cool running water, while shaking the colander to move the mushrooms around and release the dirt. Slice the mushrooms; set aside.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Scrub the onion with a clean vegetable brush under running water. Dice the onion.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • In a large skillet, saut\u00e9 onion and mushrooms in oil. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Add ground meat and cook until no longer pink. Drain the fat from the meat. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Wash the counter and utensils that touched the raw meat. Wash hands with soap and water after handling raw meat.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Add water chestnuts, salt, and pepper. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • In a large bowl, mix soup, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Add ground meat mixture and cooked rice; stir well to combine.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Empty bowl ingredients into the cleaned out pumpkin and replace pumpkin top. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minuteson the lower rack of the oven, or on the rack where the pumpkin can be most centered in the oven. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • After 1 hour and 15 minutes, remove the top and check the sides of the pumpkin for doneness. The outside of the pumpkin will turn a dark orange, and the inside of the pumpkin should be tender and easily scooped off the sides with a spoon. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the pumpkin. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • To serve, scoop off chunks of cooked pumpkin with the meat mixture. <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
