Ingredients

Acorn squash...the ones I had were small, so these worked out to be single servings

Ground beef...of course you could use ground turkey or chicken breast

Quinoa...only because I had it left over, I would use brown rice

Cream of mushroom soup

S&P

Directions

Cook rice

Brown the meat

Mix the meat, rice & soup

Season to taste

Take the stem off of the acorn squash & slice to pointy bottom off, making sure it will stand upright in the baking dish (I used a cast iron skillet)

Scoop out the seeds

Fill with the meat/rice mixture & place the lid back on

Bake at 350 for an hour or until the squash is cooked (I stuck a knife in the sides to check)

Hi onedegree! I like your version of my Dinner In A Pumpkin recipe. I just noticed today your e-mail in my inbox, so had to check it out. It's a versatile recipe that is very forgiving and lends itself to lots of variations. It's so great that we learn from each other!

You could also add cheese
Cook some onion and/or garlic with the meat
Add a can of mushrooms
Use instant rice if you are into that, there will be plenty of moisture from the squash
