Ingredients
Squash:
-
1 acorn squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
cooking spray
Filling:
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
¼ pound lean ground beef
-
¼ pound ground pork sausage
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
2 ounces Cheddar cheese, cubed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Make the squash: Season squash flesh with salt and pepper, then lightly spray with cooking spray. Place squash, cut-sides down, into a microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap.
-
Microwave on high until flesh is fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and pork sausage; cook and stir until well browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain grease from the skillet and transfer meat to a bowl.
-
Cook onion and garlic in residual grease in the same skillet until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Add onion mixture to meat mixture; stir in Cheddar cheese.
-
Place squash halves, cut-sides up, on a baking sheet. Spoon filling into cavities.
-
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and squash is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
