Ingredients
  • 2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • about 4oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1t ground sage, or 1T fresh sage, chopped
  • 1T fresh chopped parsley
  • 2oz pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • salt and pepper
  • **if using 1lb sausage, you can either keep the recipe as is, but use 4 squash, or, you can use 1/2lb sausage and decrease the breadcrumbs to about 1 cup, and use the original 2 squash. My photo is of the former :)

  4. Meanwhile, heat remaining butter and broth in saucepan over medium heat with onion and garlic and cook until tender.
  5. Stir in breadcrumbs, sage, parsley, pecans and raisins. Remove from heat.
  6. Turn squash cut side up and fill cavities with stuffing.
  7. Bake another 20 minutes or so, until squash is done, basting with broth last 15 minutes of cooking.

This sounds very savory and comforting! I believe I will try it with the sausage included...Awesome!


This reminds me of a time when my mom cooked some acorn squash and forgot to poke holes in it...BLAM-O - it exploded inside the oven. What a mess! This sounds good.


Hey Keni, This sounds really good. I think this is the first time I didn't make acorn squash last winter. This reminds me how much I like it.


Great comfort food!


Perfect Kennedy I look froward to making this with my garden fresh acorn squash when I get back from my vacation next week! Book marked and printed.
