Stuffed acorn squash with a cheesy sausage and mushroom filling. It was a favorite side dish in my family when I was growing up. Now, it's one of my husband's favorite dishes. It's a great way to use up that abundant, reasonably priced, tasty fall squash.

Ingredients

  • 2 acorns squash , halved and seeded
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 0.5 cups chopped mushrooms
  • 0.25 cups chopped onion
  • 1 large egg , beaten
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Place squash halves, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, turn squash halves over, and set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add celery, mushrooms, and onion; cook and stir until celery is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. 4

    Beat egg in a large bowl; stir in sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir cheese mixture into sausage mixture, then spoon into squash halves.

  5. 5

    Return to the oven and bake until filling is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
