Andree's Delicious Stuffed Acorn Squash

This looks wonderful!! I can't wait to try it...easy, cheap and a great way to sneak in the squash...enjoy!!

1 Acorn squash
1/2-1 pound Sausage (Jimmy Dean--I like the hot but sage is good too)stove top stuffing
1/2 cup each celery, onion
1/4 cup peppers (green, yellow, red)
chicken broth
butter necessary for stuffing mix
1. Cut acorn squash in half and clean out seeds. Place face down in 1 cup chicken broth in shallow baking pan and cook 350 for 35-40 minutes until soft inside.
2. Meanwhile brown sausage (a whole pound makes the stuffing really really meaty so if you dislike vegetarian type dinners use the whole pound otherwise 1/2 pound is enough for taste). Set aside.
3 Saute onions, celery and peppers in small amount of butter until soft then make stove top stuffing according to package directions. Add veggies and heat. Add sausage and mix. The sausage can make the stuffing moist so tend to the dry side especially if you are going to use the whole pound of sausage.
4. Once squash is soft drain any remaining liquid from baking dish. Stuff squash fully with stuffing mixture. Then stuff some more. Return to 350 oven for another 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm....you can top it with cheese, bread crumbs, or fresh herbs.
