Put olive oil in pan and start to heat up. Mix some seasonings of your choice with flour. Coat beef in mix, then put in pan with oil. Brown meat half way through then added one clove minced garlic. Continue browning meat while cutting up carrots and sweet potato. Once meat is completely browned add can of beef stock, black beans, and chopped stewed tomatoes. Bring to a boil then simmer. Add cut up carrots and sweet potatoes. Continue to simmer while cutting yellow squash, mushrooms, and zucchini. Add one cup of water and any remaining seasonings you prefer. Bring to boil.

Put lid on pumpkin and put in oven at 350-375 for 90 minutes. Don't over bake pumpkin, as the sides can get too weak and start to collapse.
