Ingredients

  • 3 medium acorn squash
  • 1/2 lb lean ground pork
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage meat
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage leaves, finely minced
  • 1 cup pepperidge farm herb seasoned stuffing cubes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • melted butter

Instructions

Step 1

If you can't get breakfast sausage meat, use sausages and remove casings. Combine with ground pork and minced sage. Stir in broth and stuffing cubes.

Step 2

Wash and cut squash into halves; remove seeds. In a large pot, boil the squash partially, with the cut portion facing down in an inch of boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove and brush liberally with melted butter.

Step 3

Fill the centers of the partially cooked squash with the stuffing mixture, dividing equally. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for about an hour or until squash is tender. Brush occasionally during the baking with a little melted butter to keep squash moist.
