Recipe Summary Thanksgiving Stuffed Pumpkin

We even take the kids on a 'Pumpkin Hunt' in advance of Thanksgiving - so much more humane than a turkey hunt!Ingredients | Virtual Scavenger Hunt Ideas½ cup sliced almonds1 tablespoon butter1 onion, finely chopped2 eggs, lightly beaten½ cup mayonnaise1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup2 (14 ounce) bags frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drainedsalt and pepper to taste1 large sugar pumpkin, top removed, seeded3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese1 (16 ounce) package herb seasoned stuffing mix½ cup melted butterDirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Place the almonds in a skillet over medium heat, and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.In a bowl, mix the onion, eggs, mayonnaise, cream of mushroom soup, and broccoli.
