Ingredients:

• Acorn Squash: This could also be done with any other squash. I’m thinking this inside of mini pumpkins would make a really fun appetizer!

• Sausage: Italian or regular bulk sausage is great
• Garlic: a must for added flavor
• Onion: Again the flavor.
• Breadcrumbs: Adds good texture and holds the filling together.
• Parmesan cheese: everything is better with cheese, and parmesan adds such a wonderful nutty flavor
• Cream Cheese: creamy goodness for the win.
• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large skillet cook sausage until almost cooked.
3. Add in onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook until onions are soft and translucent.
4. Remove from heat and add in cream cheese, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs (reserving 2 tbsp) and salt to taste.
5. Cut acorn squash in half, remove seeds, and season liberally with salt.
6. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter to each squash half.
7. Top each squash with sausage filling and sprinkle with extra breadcrumbs.
8. Bake for 45-60 minutes until squash is soft.
