Sausage & Parmesan Stuffed Acorn Squash

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.

Step 2

Cut each acorn squash in half and scoop out the innards. Place them on a baking sheet (face up) and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place a small piece of butter in each half. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, brown the sausage meat in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes and break it up with a spoon as it's cooking.

Step 4

Add the onion to the pan and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat, and add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme leaves (remove from stems), parmesan, and more salt/pepper if desired.

Step 6

Take the squash out of the oven and fill each half with the sausage mixture. Roast for an additional 30 minutes.
