1 green pepper, chopped
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 undiluted can cream of mushroom soup
1 pumpkin, hollowed out
Brown meat, saute vegetables. Add water chestnuts, soup, salt and pepper. Place in pumpkin, cover with top of pumpkin. Place in baking pan. Add water around bottom to keep from sticking while baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 3 hours.

HALLOWEEN BEEF PIES
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin, if desired
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) tomato sauce
1 c. carrot, shredded
1 can (4 1/2 oz.) olives, chopped
1 can (10 oz.) refrigerator biscuits
10 slices process American cheese
Brown ground beef and onion in large frying pan. Pour off drippings. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, salt and garlic powder over meat mixture. Stir in tomato sauce, carrot and olives. Cover and cook slowly 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Roll each biscuit on lightly floured board to make a 4 inch circle; press each over the greased bottom of cup of muffin pan to fit snugly. Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove biscuit cups from pan immediately; place, cup side up, on baking sheet. Cut 3 inch circles from each cheese slice and cut each with a sharp knife to make a pumpkin face. Chop all pieces of cheese and stir into meat mixture until partially melted. Place an equal amount of meat mixture in each biscuit cup; top each with cheese face. Place in 400 degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese begins to melt.

BEEF IN COSTUME FOR HALLOWEEN
1 (4 lb.) pumpkin
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
Cooking oil
1/3 c. chopped red pepper
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 (7 1/2 oz.) can pitted ripe olives
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 eggs, beaten
Cut top from pumpkin, clean out seeds and fibers. Simmer in salted water to cover for about 20 to 25 minutes or until almost tender. Drain. Brown beef and onion in 1 tablespoon oil. Add red and green peppers and garlic; cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; stir in all remaining ingredients. Spoon into pumpkin; place lid on top. Brush pumpkin with oil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then cut into wedges to serve. May use lettuce basket to lower pumpkin into boiling water and to remove easily without breaking skin. Yield: about 8 servings.

HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN SOUP
1 tbsp. olive oil
4 shallots, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 med. carrots, coarsely chopped
2 med. potatoes, diced
1 tbsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Dash freshly grated nutmeg
2 lbs. pumpkin, peeled, seeded &
coarsely chopped
5 c. vegetable stock
Plain yogurt
Cilantro leaves
Heat oil in 3 quart saucepan. Add shallots and celery and saute 5 minutes. Add carrots and potatoes and saute 5 minutes longer. Add coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Stir fry 2 minutes. Add pumpkin and vegetable stock. Bring to boil, cover and simmer gently 20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. Blend soup in food processor or blender until smooth. Return to pan, adjust seasonings to taste and heat through. Serve hot, garnished with swirl of yogurt and cilantro leaves. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

HALLOWEEN CHILI
1 1/4 lbs. ground goblin gizzards
(ground beef 15% fat)
1 med. eye of Cyclops (onion)
15 oz. can soft shelled beetles
(kidney beans)
28 oz. can blood of bat (V-8 juice)
1/8 tsp. pureed wasp (prepared
mustard)
1/4 tsp. common dried weed (oregano)
1 dash of Redtailed hawk toenails
(crushed red pepper)
2 tsp. ground sumac blossom (chili
powder)
1 tsp. hemlock (honey or sugar)
1/2 c. fresh grubs (sliced celery)
1 tbsp. eye of Newt (pearled barley)
1 tbsp. dried maggots (uncooked rice)
Water from a stagnant pond (tap water)
Substitutions are in parenthesis. Best made during the last phase of the moon, if that is not possible, just do the best you can in a softly lighted kitchen after dark. Brown the gizzards in an iron cauldron over a fire made from the siding off of a haunted house, add chopped eye of cyclops and simmer until the pieces of eye become translucent again, add blood of bat, and soft shelled beetles, bring to a slow bubbling boil. At this time, add the common weed, maggots, toenails, sumac, grubs, hemlock, eye of newt and the pureed wasp. As it cooks you may want to adjust the consistency with pond water. You can tell it is done when the eye of newt swells and the vertical tan colored 'cats eye' appears on one side.
