Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

1 medium acorn squash
6 ounces bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped celery, optional
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped peeled tart apple
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sour cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup diced process cheese (Velveeta)

Directions

Cut squash in half; remove seeds. Place cut side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook the sausage, celery if desired and onion over medium heat, until meat is no longer pink. Add apple; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Drain.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, egg and sour cream until smooth; stir into sausage mixture.
Turn squash over; sprinkle cut sides with salt. Stuff with sausage mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the stuffing reads 160°. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.

I love apple, I love sausage, and I love acorn squash. But all together this recipe wasn't good at all. It took at least 50% longer to cook than the recipe indicated and it just tasted odd.
