Savory Stuffed Pumpkin

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut a lid off the top of the pumpkin; discard seeds and pulp. Reserve lid.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Heat butter in another pan over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir into the ground beef.

Mix soup, cooked rice, mushrooms, soy sauce, and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add beef mixture and stir well.

Stuff the pumpkin with the mixture and replace the lid. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until pumpkin is soft, 1 to 2 hours. Serve in pumpkin. Add some of the baked pumpkin to each serving.
