Categories     Hillshire Farm®

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (1 pound) acorn squash
4 tablespoons water
1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
½ (8.8 ounce) package cooked whole grain brown rice
¾ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons snipped fresh sage
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds and strings.
  • In a 2-quart baking dish, arrange two squash halves, cut sides down; add in 2 tablespoons of the water. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave 7 to 10 minutes or until squash is just tender; keep warm. Repeat with the remaining squash halves.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat for 6 minutes or until browned, adding rice, 1/2 cup of the cheese, sage, thyme, and black pepper in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • To serve, fill squash halves with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Butternut squash, acorn squash, and kabocha squash are all good choices for this recipe. Make sure the squash is ripe and has a firm texture.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can use a spoon or a melon baller to do this.
  • Brush the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This will help the squash to brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the squash in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
  • While the squash is roasting, cook the sausage. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the squash and sausage are cooked, spoon the sausage into the squash boats. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, vegetables, or nuts.
  • Bake the squash boats for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the squash boats hot.
