Beef-Stuffed Squash image

I won a first-place trophy with this stuffed squash recipe in a cook-off in 1981. I've made it for family and guests many times since. Each squash has a shiny glaze on top, which makes this a spectacular-looking dish!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover beef after a roast or steak dinner, and this is a great way to use it up. The squash is a great vessel for the beef filling, and the combination of flavors is delicious.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the squash, and they ate all of the beef filling. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed this recipe! I used tofu instead of beef, and it turned out great. The squash was perfectly cooked and the tofu filling was flavorful.

This recipe is a great starting point for making beef stuffed squash. I made a few changes to the recipe, and it turned out great! I added some chopped carrots and celery to the beef filling, and I used a different type of squash.

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of squash, and I would add more seasoning to the beef filling.

This recipe was just okay. The squash was a bit too mushy for my taste, and the beef filling was a bit dry.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to cook the squash for a long time, and then I had to cook the beef filling. It was a lot of work.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The squash was also a bit too soft for my liking.
