Savory Squash Recipe

I cook dinners about half the time for Juanita and me.  I am fearless in the kitchen, and will try new things just for the halibut.  I have had some almighty disasters, and a few real winners.

This one is a winner.  It turns squash into food.

Savory Squash Recipe

1 acorn squash
2 Tbl bacon crumbles
4 Tbl finely chopped onion
4 Tbl shredded cheese (your choice)
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 (ea) 1 Tbl butter pats



Take the acorn squash and halve it longitudinally.  Scrape out the spider webs and eggs (discard).  Put the halves skin side down in an oven appropriate baking dish and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the onions, bacon crumbles, shredded cheese and garlic. Spoon mixture into squash halves.

Add butter pat to top.

Bake at 350* for 1 hour.

Eat.

You're welcome.

  1. I think I'll try this with a butternut squash. Once a squash, always a squash, right?

  2. Now there's a thought! Pumpkin!

    I might take 2 or 3 extra pounds of bacon, though...

  5. LOL. I love squash with just butter and salt and smashed up. However, I call cheater on you. You can't use bacon because everything is good with bacon. You cheated. :)
