I love the quick and easy process to make this squash! I used less brown sugar than stated. I will try agave nectar next time.

This recipe not only takes care of the job in about 1/3 the time it takes in a conventional oven, but also frees up the oven! Wish I would have thought to cook it this way YEARS ago. I think the last time I made acorn squash in the oven WAS the last time I'll make acorn squash in the oven! Also, I used one large squash and the cooking time and amounts of brown sugar and butter were perfect. Thanks, Corinne, for sharing Nana's recipe!

This was sooo easy! I usually have to wait to make acorn squash for an evening when I have extra time to let it bake. Well no more. Followed recipe but added 1t of maple syrup to the kid's halves with the butter and sugar. Tasted great and everyone ate it up.

The best!! Perfect in the fall as a side dish along red meat, although we cut back a little bit on the brown sugar or else the inside part of the squash gets too sweet.

I've had this recipe for years, my mom made it this way!! If you're counting calories, you could replace the brown sugar with some sweetner (Not quite the same but very close).

Super easy, super tasty!!! Note: Size DOES matter, I used a small squash so I needed far less butter and brown sugar. Adjust the recipe to fit the size of your squash. Also, I didn't use pepper - just salt. Next time around I may add a dash of maple syrup for even more sweet flavor... Excellent recipe all around.

This is just like my father used to make! He used to steam the squash, though, in the oven. The microwave is much more convenient. It's hard to believe something with such simple ingredients and preparation can be so good, but it is. Depending upon the size of the squash, it can easily serve 4. We serve it with lamb shanks and sauerkraut or pork tenderloin and cabbage and apples. Great fall fare!

I hadn't ever had acorn squash before and furthermore, I'd never cooked squash before I tried this. It was ridiculously easy and very tasty. It is a bit like sweet potatoes, but lighter in texture, which I liked. I definitely think this is a winner.

I added a little maple syrup and slow cooked in the oven. Also tastes good on any all types of squash.
