  • 1 small pumpkin
  • 6 potatoes - peeled and cubed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and mash. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder; set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no pink shows; drain. Spoon the ground beef into the pumpkin. Pour in the creamed corn and whole kernel corn. Top with mashed potatoes. Cover with pumpkin lid. Pour 2 cups of water in the baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until pumpkin is tender and can be pierced with a fork.
