Happy Hump day friends!!!
This morning I walked outside and felt the SMALLEST hint of cool weather.. no I mean the smallest hint but still, it was there!!!! I ran inside and poured a giant pumpkin latte and just got really excited for minute. Gosh I am READY for cool.
Texas heat is no joke.
I have been cooking a few fall inspired recipes each week in hopes of scoring some wonderful crowd pleasing holiday recipes!! Any one else love to host over the holidays?? I find myself hosting A TON!! Albeit friendsgiving dinners, supper club, a small dinner party, or just having family in town in general. I am always looking for recipes that can feed a crowd and also that conspire with the general season. This Acorn squash was a HIT! My entire table ate their plates CLEAN! Including the picky 3 year old. Now there may have been a bit of bribing but he happily ate his dinner and didn't tell me it was gross. So that's great :)
Here is this wonderful recipe!
( feeds 4) double if you are feeding more
Ingredients:
2 large acorn squashes ( ends cut off and halved)
1 lb ground sausage
3 large celery stalks chopped
1 yellow onion chopped
dry sage
2 large apples chopped
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup parmesean cheese
Method:
Lay your squashes on a baking sheet and roast them at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until fork tender. While the squash is roasting, start with the stuffing. Over medium high heat, in a large pan start by browning the sausage. Once brown and crumbled, scoop the sausage out and set aside. ( Be sure and leave the grease from the sausage IN the pan. Do not discard) Next sautés the onion, celery and apple together. Cook these down until very soft then add the sausage back in along with the bread crumbs and parmesean cheese. Pull out the Acorn squash and stuff with the stuffing. Sprinkle a bit more parmesean on top and pop back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!!!
