Introduction

This recipe is a favorite in my picky house and it is veryversitile. My husband hates squash so I put the stuffing into green peppers for him. I also make more of the stuffing mix than necessary because I love to use it as a sidedish or lunch by adding black beans or tomatoes to it.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375*.
2. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut squash in half horizontally. Scoop out and discard seeds. Place the squash cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to 325* and bake squash halves with stuffing mix for about another 8-10 minutes.
