Squash Stuff Recipes

SQUASH STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix the squash, cream of celery soup, and onion.
• Spread about 3/4 cup stuffing mix in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and top with half the squash mixture. Season with pepper, and sprinkle with half the processed cheese food. Repeat the layers, and top with the remaining stuffing mix. Evenly arrange butter slices over the surface, and pour water over all.
• Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.

SQUASH STUFF

Steps:

• Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly browned; drain.
• Mix the crushed tomatoes with liquid, diced tomatoes with liquid, corn with liquid, yellow squash, zucchini, and potatoes into the skillet with the beef. Season with seasoning salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to boil, adding water as needed to cover the ingredients. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain to serve.

STUFFED SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut 1-inch off the top of each acorn squash and scoop out the seeds. If necessary in order for the squash to sit upright, cut off a small portion of the bottom. Put 1 of the 4 pieces of butter in the cavity of each squash. Set squash on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, brown the ground pork until no longer pink. Remove the meat from the pan, add the olive oil and saute the onion, celery, and carrot until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
• Return the pork to the pan along with the cooked rice, spinach, pine nuts, oregano and salt and pepper, to taste. Stirring constantly, heat mixture thoroughly, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Divide the mixture evenly among the squash, top each squash with its lid and bake for 1 hour or until the squash is tender. Serve immediately.
