Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

When we do appetizers for supper it is usually clam strips, mini egg rolls, fried mozzarella sticks and sometimes Totino pizza rolls or Hot wings.
Supper is tenderloin roast stuffed with onions and mushrooms, oven roasted potatoes and beverage of choice... my choice is whiskey.
 
I'm thinking Chinese food is coming up soon--egg rolls sound good!

Tonight....tonight.....just not sure yet. I was thinking stew this am, but it's warmed up enough that just doesn't sound appealing. maybe tacos, or probably nachos. We've got one of those huge bags of tortilla chips from Costco open and need to use them up.
 
Apple and Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash. A friend posted this on her FB page, so I tried it. Man, it is all kinds of good with some fabulous thrown in! I have a Food Saver bag in the freezer right now with the extra stuffing, ready for the next time. And there WILL be a next time!
 
Finally made my beef stew

. So many veggies, rich broth, and I found some really nice sourdough to toast to go with it. Even the locusts were satisfied!
 
@Blooie too many options when I google for "Apple and Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash"! What recipe did you use? I have got to try it!
A friend blessed us with 8 beautiful Acorn Squash from his garden and I am getting tired of brown sugar and butter baked squash.
 
Oh, it's so doggone good it should be illegal! Prep time takes a while, but WOW! I only used one acorn squash cut in half and had stuffing left that didn't fit after both halves were filled, so the stuffing recipe would more than likely be good for two whole squash. I have 2 photos on my iPad but can't seem to transfer them over for some reason so I'll just add them from my iPad after I post this.

1 acorn squash
1 med. onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped fine
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp rosemary
1 pound breakfast sausage (original recipe calls for 1/2 pound but I was too lazy to cut what I had in half. Glad I didn't!)
1 apple (doesn't make any difference what kind but I used a Honeycrisp) chopped, skin on or off as desired
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup plain bread crumbs (I used Progresso)

Cut the ends off the squash so the halves will sit steady on a foil covered baking sheet. Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds for chickens. Drizzle with a little oil, sprinkle with some salt and pepper, and put in the oven at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. While those are baking.....

In a skillet put onion and celery, the salt, pepper, and rosemary and saute in a little oil until celery starts to barely soften.
Add garlic and cook for few minutes more then add sausage and brown.
When sausage is cooked, add chopped apple, stirring it in well.
Stir in bread crumbs, Then stir in cheese. Once cheese is melting, remove from heat and just wait for squash to finish.

Stuff the squash halves, mounding as needed and top with a little more Parmesan. Put back in the 400 degree oven for another 20 minutes. Enjoy - and YOU WILL! Yummy with rolls. You won't need to serve this as a side dish for a meal - one half IS a meal!

There's a video of this being prepared. I think "Tasty" made it. I had the iPad on the counter and kept pausing it until I had the stuffing all cooked!

Looks delish! So everything you make doesn't always come out like your deviled eggs?

I'm glad you posted the pictures. I never thought to cut the squash in half that way and make it look cute, I always cut it in half from stem to stern...
