This came from Super Food Ideas and was submitted by the Portelli family for when they have family gatherings. It was suggested you could make up the mince mix the day before, cover and keep in the refrigerator. Also suggested that any excess stuffing could be put in a small baking dish, covered and bake for 30 minutes with the pumpkin. If you choose to make the mince and rice mix the day before allow about 30 minutes to cook and prepare (have not included this in the recipe as I assume it would be done while the pumpkin in baking).
