SAUSAGE-STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

This easy weeknight dinner (or breakfast!) involves cooking stuffed acorn squash in the oven with a flavorful sausage and pecan filling.

Ingredients:

– 3 medium sized acorn squash – extra virgin olive oil – salt and pepper to taste – ⅓ cup chopped pecans – 1 lb breakfast sausage (I prefer sage) – 1 teaspoon ground sage (if not using sage breakfast sausage) – 1 sleeve Ritz crackers crushed – ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

It is so easy to cook stuffed acorn squash and it lends itself to nice fall flavors.
