Sweet and Savory Stuffed Acorn Squash

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Savory Stuffed Acorn Squash.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take your halved acorn squash and place it cut side up in a shallow baking dish, creating a lovely little bowl for all the tasty fillings.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s add some flavor! In each half of the squash, drop in 2 tablespoons of rich butter and sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of sweet brown sugar.

4. Step 4

   This combination will caramelize beautifully as it bakes, adding a delightful sweetness to the dish.

5. Step 5

   Next, fill each squash half with 1 cup of dry bread stuffing mix, making sure to pack it in nicely.

6. Step 6

   To keep everything moist and flavorful, pour in 3/4 cup of chicken broth over the stuffing.

7. Step 7

   Don’t forget to season your creation! A pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic and onion powder will elevate the flavors to perfection.

8. Step 8

   To keep all that goodness inside, cover each half tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring they stay moist while baking.

9. Step 9

   Now, pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 60 minutes, or until the squash is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

    As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your beautifully baked acorn squash, bursting with flavor and warmth.
