Got a new recipe for you kids.
I had it last weekend and it was tasty!
1 Acorn Squash
2 Slices of thick sliced bacon
2 Heaping Tablespoons of Light Brown Sugar
1 Onion Chopped Fine
1 Bell Pepper Chopped Fine
8 Oz. of Mushrooms Chopped Fine (Save a few for an Omelet tomorrow)
4 Oz. Butter or Margarine
4 Oz. Grated Cheddar Cheese
Sliced Cheddar Cheese for Top – Optional
Garlic Powder
PepperCut Acorn Squash in half, clean out seeds, wash and put brown sugar in bowl of squash. Cut two thick slices of bacon in half and place acorn squash on bacon on a cookie sheet (use aluminum foil to keep cookie sheet clean). Bake @ 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes. After 30 minutes, take the bacon out & fry it crisp. While squash is cooking, put 1/2 stick of butter in a skillet & cook chopped onion, pepper and mushrooms with a little garlic powder and pepper to taste. When all is done, scoop out acorn squash and combine with other ingredients & cheese in a large bowl. Place mixture back in the Acorn Squash and place slices of cheese on top. Heat on broil long enough to melt cheese and serve.
Add pecans or walnuts to the mixture if you wish.
