Veg: Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash

By Dski

Ingredients

• 1 acorn squash (or any winter squash you have on hand)
• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef*
• 2 tsp of fresh or 1/2 tsp of dried rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic/onion powder (whatever herbs you have on hand. Cayenne or cinnamon would add a nice kick too)
• Ghee/Coconut Oil
• 1-2 About 1-2 cups diced vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli slaw would all be great options)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place the acorn squash whole on a parchment-covered baking sheet and bake for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes or until soft.
Remove the acorn squash from the oven and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with the ghee/coconut oil and cook the ground beef until almost done. Add the seasonings and stir to combine.
Then add the chopped vegetables and cook for about ten more minutes or until tender (cooking time will depend on the vegetables that you use).
Remove the skillet from the stove and let rest while you prepare the squash.
Take your acorn squash and carefully slice it in half. Use a spoon and scrape out the innards (seeds).
Now stuff each squash half with your beef and vegetable mixture. There will probably be some left over depending on the size of your squash.
