Acorn Squash - Sides & Salads

Krisha · 10-04-2006, 11:29 AM

Does anyone have a recipe for acorn squash? I bought one at the farmers market yesterday and have no idea how to cook it.

Here's what I do:

I lb or so of turkey sausage
pinchful of sage and oregano and pepper and such
Mix it together with bread crumbs, almost like meatfloaf and make 2 loaves out of it.
Then cut the acorn squash in half, scooping out the seeds.
In a pan, put a bit of water. Then add the 2 loaves of meatloaf to the middle of the acorn squash and put that in the pan with the water. I cook usually about 45 minute on 400 in the oven. I serve with wild rice and a veggie. Always a big hit at my house!

I usually cut it in half, deseed it. Then I put butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and bake.

Acorn squash is very pretty when cooked slightly and then stuffed with stuffing and bake for a bit to crust the top. Delish and pretty.
