Some delicious dinners.. Stuffed Acorn Squash

The last two nights of dinners at our house have been AMAZING so I thought I'd share the recipes.

South of the Border Stuffed Acorn Squash from SparkRecipes

2 acorn squash
1 Tbl. Coconut oil  (I used Olive Oil)
1 onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, chopped
1 pound ground turkey  (I used ground beef)
2 Tbl. chili powder  (I used MUCH less, maybe 1/2 tsp)
3 teas. cumin
1/2 c. tomatoes, chopped  (I used about 1 cup)

Cut squash lengthwise and clean out pulp and seeds, then bake at 400F in a making dish with 1/4 inch water, cut squash side down, for 30-45 min or until tender.

Heat oil in large skillet then add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are tender and translucent. Add peppers and cook 3 to 4 min. longer.

Add turkey/beef and spices and brown until turkey is good through. Stir in tomatoes and heat through. Take squash out of pan, and fill each half with meat mixture. Serve with salsa.  (Add cheese and sour cream for the kids if you want!)

Serving Size: makes 4 servings 1/2 squash each

Number of Servings: 4
