It needed more cheese than what it called for but my picky husband requested it for the 2nd time this month! I used ground pork instead of sausage for less fat and it was really good.

I added a can of mushroom soup, some white and wild rice, and celery. On a cold night this is comfort food at it's best...

I use veggie beef and it's good. Not the most exciting thing you can do with an acorn squash, but decent and quick.

I really liked this. I tweaked it a little to suit my caloric preferences. Ground turkey instead of pork/beef. Eliminated the oil, not necessary for the meat or squash. Diced tomato instead of cheese. Also, I dont have a microwave, so I baked the squash @ 375 for 40 minutes, then another 20 with the stuffing. A great, healthy, delicous meal.

With my alterations I give this recipe 5 stars for its tasty, earthy, comfort food appeal! I cooked 1 cup of white long grain rice with 2 cups of chicken broth in a separate pan so I could add it to my ground beef mixture. I did not have pork sausage, but I'm sure it would be wonderful in this dish. I also added onions, celery, dried sage, 2 cloves of garlic, and rosemary to the meat for a savory taste. Once the squash was cooked, I spooned the rice and meat mixture into the wells, then topped each with some grated colby jack cheese. It turned out beautifully and was very tasty. My husband, who doesn't even like acorn squash, ate two servings! See my photo of this lovely autumn dish!

A delicious dish, and a really nice presentation too. I usually make it with just sausage, and use shredded cheese both mixed in and sprinkled on top.

the squash is bitter, but add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the bottom before you add your sausage to it. It will make all the difference in the world.

Of course the kids wouldnt touch this, but my husband and I liked it. I didnt care for the sausage as much.

This was WON-DER-FUL. Used ground pork (not sausage). Probably would add some rosemary, etc. next time for a little more flavor, but still was great. The savory filling with the sweet squash was excellent.

The squash was a little bit bitter, but the filling was very good. I will try his again and maybe use a different type of squash.

I'm surprised so many people liked this recipe. I do a lot of cooking and I've got to say that these tastes just did not go together. Although the filling was good on it's own, the sweetness of the squash tasted awful with the spices and cheese. My boyfriend couldn't even finish it, and that's saying something. Sorry, I've got to give this a thumbs-down!

I just used sausage, no hamburger. I also added mushrooms to the onion mixture. Hubby said he could eat it every night - LOVED it.

This was an "OK" dish. My husband liked it but my grown son hated it. Then again, he prefers his squash sweet.

Enjoyed the savory take on the acorn squash. Didn't have sausage on hand, but spiced up some ground pork with sage, a little cayenne, and salt and pepper. Imagine the filling would have been even better with pre-made sausage.
