Here is the recipe.  I also added Sweet sausage (make sure you squeeze the sausage out from its case), sweet potatoes, squash and beef stock, 2 basil leaves.  I browned the meat (I used steak meat instead of stew meat) in Olive oil and also make sure you glaze the outside of the pumpkin with the same BEFORE putting it in the oven. When it says to simmer all the ingredients in a pot for an hour before stuffing the pumpkin, that is when I added a few cups of beef stock (transfer everything, including the stock into the pumpkin). make sure to save the pumpkin seeds, let them dry on a flat pan, then season and cook at 350 for ten minutes. (I used cajun seasoning instead of salt).
