Ingredients
  • 3 small acorn squash
  • 1 link Italian sausage, about ¼ lb, mild, medium, or hot, you call it.
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ t salt
  • ¼ t pepper
  • 1 t chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 T boiling water
  • 1 (6 oz) pkg stuffing mix (I used cornbread flavor)
  • ¼ c grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ c grated smoked mozzarella
  • 1 t smoked paprika

Directions
  1. Prepare stuffing according to package directions; set aside.
  2. Remove sausage from casing; sauté, stirring to crumble until browned; drain and add to stuffing mix.
  3. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  4. Cut the squash in half; discard seeds.
  5. Place cut side down in a 15x19 inch baking pan; add ½ inch of hot water. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
  6. When cool enough to handle, scoop out pulp, leaving a ¼ inch shell (pulp will measure about 3 cups). Drain water from pan; place squash in pan cut side up and set aside.
  7. In a large bowl combine pulp, egg, salt and pepper. Dissolve bouillon in boiling water; add to squash mixture. Add stuffing, spoon into squash shells.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheeses and paprika; Bake an additional 5 minutes until cheeses melt.
