Baked Acorn Squash

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Cut the squash in half and scoop the seeds and pulp out with a large spoon. Place the two halves of the squash open-side down in a baking dish. Add about a quarter inch of water to the pan. Your goal is to steam the squash.

3. 3

   Bake the squash for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the partially cooked squash from the oven and drain the water. Flip the halves over so that the open side is now on the top.

5. 5

   To each squash add the butter (cold is fine, it will melt), brown sugar, salt and cayenne pepper. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top.

6. 6

   Bake the squash for an additional 30 minutes. Serve warm.
