This special stew is the meal our two kids look forward to each fall because we only get to enjoy it when the fresh pumpkins come out of the garden. The stew is cooked and served right in the pumpkin shell. A true taste of autumn, it also makes a pretty presentation at a potluck. —Donna Mosher, Augusta, Montana

This was amazing! My family was a little worried about the pumpkin flavor being too much but it was by far the best stew we have ever had! The only thing that we did a little different was I used pork stew meat because my mother in law is allergic to beef, and as well as the beef cubes (not actual beef so she can handle it) I also used a teaspoon of chicken. This will definitely be a tradition in the family from now on!

I have made this recipe for the last four years in October when pumpkins are easiest to get, and have served it to many different people. I always send the recipe home with someone. It's fun, clever, and so very delicious! A big favorite in the fall and now the family expects it!

My husband and I love this. I couldn't believe the amount of flavor it had! I would love to make this again.

This has become a favorite fall tradition in our home! We love this stew! I have also made it in the small sugar pumpkins and we've used those as our personal serving bowls. Fun and delicious!

I made this and it didn't work for me. The pumpkin got soft and collapsed in the oven before the stew was done cooking. I saved the stew by finishing it in the crock pot. My husband didn't care for the stew itself as it was bland and he doesn't like the green pepper in it. I have had much better beef stew-sorry!

I've made this for years. Sometimes instead of cooking the stew in the pumpkin, I put everything in the crockpot and cook it on low all day. My grandkids say they pray for rain and cold so Nana will make that good stew.
