Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 acorn squash (halved)
1 cup melted butter
14 ounces crumbled Ritz crackers
1 cup chopped blanched almond, toasted until golden
1/2 teaspoon salt (or so)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove the seeds from the centre of the squash halves.
  • Brush the interior with some of the melted butter and sprinkle very lightly with salt.
  • Put the cracker crumbs, almonds, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar and add enough melted butter to bind.
  • Stuff squash cavities with this mixture, mounding slightly.
  • Place in a large baking pan and pour in enough hot water to come about 1" up sides of squash.
  • Bake for about 75 minutes (may need a little longer, depending on the size of your squash). Squash should be tender when pierced.
  • Place 1 half per person.
  • Eat with a spoon to scoop out yummy flesh and stuffing.

I thought this dish was just okay. The squash was a bit bland and the stuffing was a bit dry.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
