Sage,sausage and Spinach Stuffed Acorn Squash image

If you love sage, you'll love this one! Can't remember where this came from, probably Southern Living. Makes a tasty main dish or use as a side to grill chicken or pork. Leave out the sausage and sub vegetable broth for a vegetarian meal. Enjoy! Cooking time includes roasting the squash.

This recipe is a disgrace to the culinary world. The acorn squash was roasted well, but the stuffing was an abomination. It was a slimy, gooey mess that tasted like nothing. I threw the whole thing away.

This recipe was a waste of my time and ingredients. The acorn squash was roasted well, but the stuffing was a complete failure. It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster! The acorn squash was roasted well, but the stuffing was a mess. It was too wet and didn't hold together. I had to add a lot of breadcrumbs to make it work. I won't be making this recipe again.
