The tender, sweet squash hosts a savory mix of beef, rice and veggies, all topped with a gooey cheddar blanket. Stuffed acorn squash recipes are hearty enough to stand alone but humble enough to share the plate with a salad or other roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>After finding a quality acorn squash (thankfully, they&#8217;re quite abundant during the fall and winter months), this dish doesn&#8217;t require much effort\u2014but it does take some time. That&#8217;s because you need to roast the squash before filling it, then bake it again for the filling to set and the cheese to melt. This stuffed acorn squash recipe is customizable (you can add lots of extra veg) and great for meal prep (it freezes like a dream), making it one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/winter-squash-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/winter-squash-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">winter squash recipes<\/a> of all time.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Stuffed Acorn Squash<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Acorn squash and water: <\/strong>Typically a fall and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/winter-squash-101-acorn-beyond\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/winter-squash-101-acorn-beyond\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">winter squash<\/a>, acorn squash is a common variety with a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with savory fillings. Cutting the squash lengthwise and scooping out the seeds provides a good-sized cavity for stuffing. Roasting it with water brings out its natural sweetness and softens the texture using steam. Pick an acorn squash with a dark green rind with orange markings; too much orange means a tougher and more fibrous squash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground beef:<\/strong> For most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-ground-beef\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-with-ground-beef\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ground beef recipes<\/a>, a 90\/10 lean-to-fat ratio is my go-to, but 80\/20 fat content works fine too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Browning the ground beef<\/a> first adds a ton of flavor to the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and celery:<\/strong> Classic aromatics like onion and celery make the filling sing. Use yellow, sweet or red onion and fresh, crisp celery for the crunch. Chop both about the same size so the pieces cook evenly throughout the mixture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour and milk: <\/strong>This classic duo holds the stuffing together and creates a creamy texture. Mixing the flour into the ground beef cooks it a bit before you add the milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings: <\/strong>Salt and sage season the entire dish. Choose rubbed sage versus ground sage for this dish; we want those more pronounced flavors and larger chunks of dried herb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice: <\/strong>Rice absorbs all the filling flavors and makes the dish hearty, taking this squash from a side to the main event. Rice is a snap if you have a rice cooker, but feel free to grab a bag of the quick-cooking stuff and throw it in the microwave for 90 seconds. No one has to know.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheddar cheese: <\/strong>Melted cheddar makes everything better. It is the ultimate creamy finish to this acorn squash stuffed with inviting ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Roast the squash<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2060416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Stuffed-Acorn-Squash_THVS24_5848_MR_09_23_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of a white baking dish filled with acorn squash, The acorn squash are green with orange patches and are submerged in water, A person's hand is pouring water from a measuring cup into the dish;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F.

Trade out the beef and try acorn squash stuffed with ground turkey or Italian sausage. You can even make the stuffed squash vegetarian with a plant-based burger, lentils or chickpeas. For another veggie version, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/wild-rice-stuffed-squash\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/wild-rice-stuffed-squash\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wild rice stuffed squash<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix in some fruit:<\/strong> A handful of dried cranberries, a sliced apple or even a few blueberries can add a surprising burst of sweetness to the filling. Savory doesn&#8217;t have to exclude sweet!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some butter and spice:<\/strong> Roasted acorn squash tastes fantastic with butter and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg; the same goes for this stuffed acorn squash recipe. Brush the inside of the squash with melted butter and a pinch of spice before inverting it into the pan. This gives the squash a warm, slightly sweet note that perfectly complements the savory stuffing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a different cheese:<\/strong> Experiment with the cheese topping. Smoked Gouda or mozzarella are both tasty options. Top with sliced avocado or fresh chopped parsley for even more flourish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Stuffed Acorn Squash<\/h2>\n<p>In the unlikely event of leftovers, refrigerate the acorn squash stuffed halves in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does stuffed acorn squash last?<\/h3>\n<p>Stuffed acorn squash will last up to four days in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze stuffed acorn squash?<\/h3>\n<p>These freeze up exceptionally well and are an exciting discovery when you have run out of dinner ideas and find them behind a frozen pizza. Allow the stuffed squash halves to cool completely, wrap them tightly, and store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They&#8217;ll last up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat stuffed acorn squash?<\/h3>\n<p>If they just came out of the fridge, throw them in the oven at 350\u00b0 for 15 to 20 minutes. To reheat squash halves from frozen, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat them in the oven. Microwaving may cause your squash to get too soft.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make stuffed acorn squash ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You bet! Follow the recipe through Step 2, but store the roasted squash and filling separately in the refrigerator; they will last up to four days before assembling and cooking. When you are ready to serve, stuff your squash and bake it the second time, finally adding the cheese at the end.<\/p>\n<h2>Stuffed Acorn Squash Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2060415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Stuffed-Acorn-Squash_THVP24_5848_MR_09_23_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"a close-up of stuffed acorn squash halves, The squash shells are a vibrant orange color, while the filling is a mixture of ground meat (likely beef or sausage), rice, vegetables, and melted cheese, The filling is a golden brown color and is topped with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you cut an acorn squash?<\/h3>\n<p>To cut an acorn squash, use a sharp chef&#8217;s knife and carefully cut through the squash lengthwise from stem to tip. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Acorn squash can have tough skin, so stabilizing the squash on a cutting board and slicing carefully is key. If it&#8217;s too difficult to pierce, microwave the squash for 10 to 15 seconds to soften the outer flesh.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you stuff other types of squash?<\/h3>\n<p>Butternut squash and spaghetti squash make amazing vessels for a savory filling. You can also use this filling in summer squash, like zucchini. Each is roasted a little bit differently, according to size, but you can make the stuffing mixture the same way. Note: Butternut squash and spaghetti squash take about 40 minutes to roast, while your zucchini might not need any preroasting.<\/p>\n<h3>What else can you serve with stuffed acorn squash?<\/h3>\n<p>If you are low-carbing, this recipe is for you!

Great recipe!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-11-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"JustineLore"},"reviewBody":"Instead of halving the acorn squash I got two that were more pumpkin shaped and could mostly stand up on their own. Cut off the stem end and stood them up in crocks. Hollowed them out as if I were carving a pumpkin and filled. Each filled one was 2 servings, so 550 calories-a respectable dinner.  As for the filling, I added fresh jalape\u00f1os garlic and omitted the sage. Most of the recipes similar to this call for sausage instead so I figured that would work flavor wise.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-10-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Toni"},"reviewBody":"I've been using this recipe for a few years now, (my mom and I LOVE it) never bothering to write it down as I have it saved on Pinterest.
