Butternut Squash Recipes

[ToAutumn]

I am looking for a stuffed butternut squash recipe, or any recipe to use butternut and acorn squash with. I want to try using different kinds of squash this year and need ideas on how to cook them.

(Cat's Baked Acorn Squash recipe - the original source name was lost in a crash once upon a time.)

 

My very favorite acorn squash recipe is SO simple.

 

Cut one acorn squash in half, and clean out the seeds. If you need to, slice off a sliver of rind on the bottom so the squash sits *flat* on the uncut side.

 

Stuff the center with bulk pork sausage. Place in a casserole dish or cake pan with sides, and pour an inch of water into the pan. Bake until done, about 1 hour, at 325 degrees F.

 

Take from oven, and you can do one of two things:

 

Remove sausage to plate and scoop out the squash pulp *OR* flip entire half onto plate and peel off outside peel from the outside.

 

Butter and salt the squash, and eat with the chopped sausage.

 

One of those things Dad's family loved...

So I can find it again by search, hopefully.

We have butternut pumpkin here. I made a butternut squash and apple crisp from the net and it was really nice, I haven't had a crisp before, only crumble. I saw a butternut squash picture they looked the same as pumpkin but I am not sure.

 

I ordered some acorn or winter squash and will be planting them soon as it is spring here in a few days to a week.

Stuffed squash

Baked Acorn Squash

Haven't made this yet, but it does remind me of the baked
squash my mother use to make; except she added a breakfast
sausage link to each, before baking in the oven.

1 Acorn Squash, halved
2 tablespoons of brown sugar, divided
2 pats of butter, divided
Salt & Pepper
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, divided

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Scoop the seeds out of each half with a spoon.
Add 1 pat of butter, 1 tsp. maple syrup or honey,
1 Tbsp. of brown sugar, salt and pepper to the hollow scoop of each half.
Place upright on a greased cookie sheet, and roast for 20 to 30 minutes,
or until tender when flesh is poked with a fork.
