Familiar ingredients make this dish comforting for me. The cheddar cheese is the same kind my family has used for years to make grilled cheese sandwiches. And the croutons remind me of Thanksgiving dinners. —Eliane Oneyear, River Forest, Illinois

This was a great recipe to use to introduce my husband to acorn squash, as it includes os many of his favorite ingredients (sausage, mushrooms, cheese, white wine). I used sage flavored Jimmy Dean sausage and we really enjoyed it!

I have made a variation of this for years. I use hamburger (turkey burger actually) which I mix up into a meatloaf mix and stuff the squash with the uncooked meat. I top it with ketchup or spaghetti sauce, whatever I have on hand and cheese and bake it until the meat is done. I can't imagine this recipe having leftover filling, since I use a pound of burger for just one acorn squash cut in half.

I have made this several times. It is so tasty and great for cold winter days. Leftover stuffing freezes well too.

My picky husband was not happy that I was going to try something new again until he ate the meat mixture and said it was great! My 4yr old helped me good it and even my 10mo old ate it. I think it would be a keeper even in the winter to serve over rice!!

I used sage seasoned breakfast sausage, beef broth and button mushrooms (no portobello mushrooms were available). These were absolutely DELICIOUS and will definitely go into regular rotation on our fall/winter dinner menu.

WOW amazing!! I used the white wine, white mushrooms, sweet Italian sausage and took 3 piece of white bread cut into pieces instead of croutons. I forgot the parmesan cheese, oops. Used block 2% white sharp cheddar cheese and grated it. My husband is still walking around saying that was really good as I write this. I must try..

This was exceptionally good! I used regular fresh mushrooms and beef broth for further savings. Squash tip: Pierce each squash with a fork and cook in microwave 10 minutes on high. Squash will be easier to cut and stem will snap right off. Bake squash only 30 minutes before filling. Line pan with aluminum foil before baking stuffed squash for easy clean up.

This recipe is very full of Autumn flavors! It's a whole meal in itself with the meat stuffing and squash. Easy to prepare, I know it will be a Fall favorite for many years!!
