Stuffed Squash

I am not world's biggest fan of squash, but after a request for stuff squash I thought I would it another try it. Especially with fall is right around the corner (if not already here!) and there will be plenty of the nutritious fall orbs to cook up. Its a good thing I tried it again, because its actually pretty dang good!

2-4 Acorn squash
1lb Ground beef
1lb Ground pork
1 Onion chopped
1 egg
4-6 Cloves of Garlic chopped (or more :) )
Italian seasoning (amount up to you)
4oz of Fresh Parmesan  or Asiago cheese*
Splash of favorite cooking oil olive, palm, coconut, butter, etc
Salt and Pepper to taste

Heat up the oven to 425.  Cut squash in half medially, also slice ends of each half so they sit flat.  Dig out the guts and place on baking sheet (or in pan).  Next coat the insides with your fat of choice and salt and pepper, cover pan with foil and place in preheated oven.  Cook at 425 for 40 minutes.  While squash is cooking mix together beef, pork, egg, onion, garlic, and Italian seasonings.  When squash is done cooking remove from oven, gently spoon meat mixture into squash halves.  I say gently because if you pack it in and then bake it it can dry it out or not cook it all the way through.  Cover pan and place back in oven for another 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and enjoy or for you dairy eaters remove at 25 minutes top lightly with shredded cheese and place back in oven for 5 min or until cheese is melted.  Remove and enjoy!

*Italian seasonings or sniff and dump, or if its green, sniff and dump so far its worked pretty deliciously for me.
