Squasage (Sausage-stuffed Squash) image

This was a favorite recipe in my family when I was growing up and now that I'm married, it's one of my husband's favorite dishes. A great way to use squash, that abundant, reasonably-priced, and tasty fall veggie!

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 pound ground sausage
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped mushrooms
¼ cup chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
½ cup sour cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with aluminum foil.
  • Place squash, cut sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Flip squash halves over and set aside to cool.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add celery, mushrooms, and onion; cook and stir until celery is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Beat egg in a large bowl; stir in sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir cheese mixture into sausage mixture. Fill squash halves with sausage filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
