Spiced Acorn Squash
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 3-1/2 hours
YIELD: 4 squash halves.
Working full time, I found I didn't always have time to cook the meals my family loved, so I re-created many of those dishes in the slow cooker. This treatment for squash is one of our favorites. —Carol Greco, Centereach, New York
