Stuffed Acorn Squash

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

Squash is handsome growing in the garden or piled up at the farmer's market. Here's a way to feature fresh acorn squash. Make this filling or use leftover Sloppy Joe mix or Chili Con Carne. Another vegetable would go nicely with this, such as Zesty Stir-Fried Spinach or Mushroom Asparagus Casserole, both in the VEGETABLE section. And naturally sweetened Date Bread from the BREAD section could double as dessert.


   2 medium acorn squash (about 1 lb. each)
   3/4 pound ground beef or turkey
   1 small onion, diced
   1 cup nonfat mozzarella cheese, shredded
   1/4 cup ketchup
   1/2 teaspoon sugar
   1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)


1. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds. Cook squash in 1/2 inch deep water in covered skillet (I use the electric skillet). This takes about 10 minutes. Drain liquid from squash cavities.

2. Meanwhile, brown meat and onion in saucepan, stir in rest of ingredients. Turn off heat and use heat in burner to finish heating mixture, stirring frequently.

3. To serve, place squash cut side up on plates; sprinkle lightly with pepper if desired. Spoon meat mixture into squash centers.
