Sausage And Acorn Squash Bake

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0.

2. 2

   Brown the sausage (as you would ground beef).

3. 3

   Drain grease.

4. 4

   Slice squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.

5. 5

   Combine rice, hot water, onion, margarine, salt and pepper in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

6. 6

   Stir until margarine is melted.

7. 7

   Mix in sausage and carrots.

8. 8

   Place the four squash halves on top of the sausage/rice mixture with the shell side up.

9. 9

   Cover pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes until the squash is tender.

10. 10

    I also make this using 1 cup of wild rice and 1 cup of regular rice.

11. 11

    Since the wild rice takes longer to cook, I cook it in the microwave for 10 minutes in 1 cup of water while I'm getting the rest of the ingredients ready. Serves 6 to 8.
