How To Make baked stuffing pumpkins
-
1Cut off top or lid of pumpkins, clean out the inside of seeds and stringy pulp. Set the pumpkins on a large oiled baking sheet. Cook your brown rice according to directions on box. Preheat oven to 350. With a knife cut an x on the flat side of the chestnut and place the x side up on a cookie sheet 3-5 minutes until the x curls back to expose the nut, you must shell them while they are hot then chop them.
