SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING IN ACORN SQUASH
Traditionally, southern dressing or stuffing is baked alongside a hen or turkey. This is pretty much the same dressing recipe but it's baked inside acorn squash. The squash keeps the dressing from drying out and provides another side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter on medium heat and cook onion and celery for 3 to 4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken broth, sage, thyme and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat for 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and cornbread. Pour broth/vegetable mixture over all and stir to combine. If the mixture is dry or crumbly looking, add broth until it will hold together.
- Stir in the eggs. (Stirring in the eggs last prevents the hot broth from scrambling them.).
- Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut a small slice off the sides, so the squash will lay flat in the baking dish.
- Generously brush insides of squash with melted butter.
- Spoon a heaping 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture in each squash half and place in a large shallow baking dish. Drizzle on any remaining melted butter.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until squash is tender and dressing is warmed through. If desired, remove foil during the last 10 minutes to brown up the top.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Butternut squash, kabocha squash, and pumpkin are all good choices for cornbread. Look for squash that is firm and free of blemishes.
- Roast the squash before adding it to the cornbread batter. This will help to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to choose a brand that is made from stone-ground corn.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Squash cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to use up leftover squash. With its sweet and savory flavor, squash cornbread is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
