Bake for at least one hour.Meanwhile heat Olive Oil in a large kettle. Wash, chop and drop potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, peppers, cauliflower and eggplant into the kettle, making sure they are small and about the same size. Add spices and herbs. Keep them on medium high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring periodically. Add mushrooms. When the veggies are tender, after about 6-8 minutes, pour in about a cup of the stock. It will pick up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and let it bubble. In a separate skillet brown ground beef. Season w/ Salt and Pepper and Steak Seasoning. When it's browned, sprinkle w/ flour. Let cook for a minute or so and add 1/2 cup of stock to get up all the meat. Add to veggies. Put in tomatoes and Crushed tomatoes w/ Basil. Heat through. Take pumpkin out of the oven and put in a shallow bowl. Ladle stew into the pumpkin and serve, scraping the cooked pumpkin.
