You can't run anything more than 30 amps to the receptacle at your panel. Your breaker can handle 50 amps but that receptacle isn't designed to handle that much load.
To hook up that generator to that receptacle, you'll need 4 prong cable plus an adapter such as this LINK. Make sure the cable is designed to handle at least 30 amps at 240 volts (7200 watts) or larger... the longer the cable, the larger it needs to be.
*not a pro so be sure to consult one if you're not 100% sure*
