Provided by Cheryl King

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 medium acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water
¾ pound ground Italian sausage
1 medium red onion, diced

3 stalks celery, diced, or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Poke holes in the flesh of the squash with a fork. Coat flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet.

  • Meanwhile, combine rice, chicken broth, and water in a rice steamer. Seal and select setting according to manufacturer's instructions; cook until tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or even rolled oats instead.
  • To make the squash easier to stuff, microwave it for a few minutes to soften it slightly. Be careful not to overcook it, though, or it will become mushy.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs on top of the squash before baking.
  • These stuffed squash can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Just be sure to reheat them thoroughly before serving.
