Pumpkin Stew

This is Chris' favorite stew recipe.  It is called pumpkin stew because you are supposed to serve it in a pumpkin.

2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1 inch cubes
3 T vegetable oil
1 cup water
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
4 medium carrots, sliced
1 large green pepper, 1/2 inch pieces
4 garlic cloves
1 medium onion, chopped
2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
2 T beef bouillon granules
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)

Brown meet in 2 T oil.  Add water, potatoes, carrots, green pepper, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.  Cover and simmer for two hours.  Stir in bouillon and tomatoes.  Wash pumpkin.  Cut 6-8 inch hole in the top.  Gut the seeds and loose fibers.  Place pumpkin in shallow baking pan.  Spoon in stew and replace top.  Brush pumpkin with oil.  Bake at 325 for 2 hours.

Eat from pumpkin scooping out a little pumpkin with each bite.
