Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash halved
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch salt & pepper
- cheese optional; we actually used dairy-free "cheese" as I'm lactose-intolerant
Instructions
- Roast acorn squash halves in oven for 45 minutes at 375°, or until golden brown and soft.
- While squash is baking, cook onions, peppers, and celery in oiled sauté pan over medium-low heat until soft. Add sausage, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until sausage is done.
- Remove squash from oven and scoop out the filling into a large mixing bowl. (Careful! We used gloves because the squash will be very hot.)
- Add sausage and veggies to the mixing bowl and stir together.
- Scoop filling back into squash halves and top with desired amount of cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
