Sage-and Sausage-Stuffed Acorn Squash

From The Farmhouse Chef: Recipes and Stories from My Carolina Farm by Jamie DeMent. © 2017 by Jamie DeMent. Used by permission of the University of North Carolina Press

This dish can be a meal all by itself. Our farm interns especially love these squash, and they are just as good the next day. So make a big batch when you make them. To reheat, just put in a 350° preheated oven and warm up for 10–15 minutes. This dish can also be made with peppers or eggplant substituted for the squash. Make a direct swap, and you’re good to go.
