Beef in Costume for Halloween

Presentation was unique and will surprise any guests. Especially when you first cut into the pumpkin and juices start dribbling out and they can see the colorful contents inside. I used a red, green and yellow bell pepper for more color. The sauce had a creamy feel in the mouth and the vegetables and beef had baked tastes. I used 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and added extra fresh ground pepper when serving. Will definitely make it again next time I have company and add some pineapple. I think the addition of sweet overtones of pineapple along with the olives will make this a 5 star recipe.
