Stuffed Acorn Squash

I could eat this stuff everyday! Great for a hearty fall dinner. There are so many different recipes for acorn squash, but it's great just baked and on it's own as well!

Ingredients :

-Acorn Squash
-Veggie Burger (You could use ground turkey, beef, etc. I used MorningStar Tomato Basil Veggie Burger)
-Grated Parm Cheese (Just a pinch)
-Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (A few pinches)

Method :

-Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
-Slice acorn squash in half
-Scoop out seeds and middle section
-Cover a cookie sheet with water and place squash halves cut-side down
-Bake for 30 min. or until tender
-Flip halves over and reduce oven temp to 325 degrees
-Mush up your veggie burger or meat and place half in each half of squash
-Sprinkle cheeses on top
-Place back in oven for 5-10 min.

All I have to say is YUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
