To be honest, my family did not care for this recipe. I did not have rubbed sage so substituted poultry seasoning. Maybe that was an issue. I personally did not care for how the filling and squash fit. Karen

We all thought the filling in this was excellent, but hubby and kids didn't think it went well with the sweetness of the acorn squash. Personally, I liked it.

Reviewed on Jun. 01, 2010 by maratha

husband suggested microwaving the acorns, scooping out the pulp and mixing it with ground beef and seasonings and baking it in a casserole dish. Both ways were very tasty.

I have made this recipe several times, and each time, it has turned out great. I made this for my family like it is written and received many compliments on it.
