I love this recipe, but think that there's a typo --there is no way that a whole tablespoon of chili powder can be right. Was it supposed to be a tablespoon of cumin and a teaspoon of chili?

Easy to prepare and quite tasty. The whole family enjoyed it. I did change the recipe slightly. I used 1 lbs ground beef and added a small red jalapeño pepper. I also used sharps cheddar cheese in place of the Swiss cheese.

I have been making this for years now. Originally with the ground turkey. Then I discovered chicken "chorizo" at my local Sprouts market. (ground chicken with chorizo seasonings). It took this dish over the top!! Depending on the spiciness of your chicken chorizo, adjust or omit the chili powder and cumin. Chorizo seasoning is available in the Hispanic food section of many grocery stores. Or you can make your own. Give it a try!

This was my first time making stuffed squash, it was great! I will definitely make it again

Always a hit, no matter how I change it up The first several times I prepared this dish exactly according to the recipe, and it came out great. The only change I made was to roast one squash, divide the stuffing into three meal-size portions for my husband and me, and stuff with one portion and freeze the other two. Which works just great, if you can resist taking the stuffing for lunch the next day. I like to serve the squash with corn tortillas and southwestern-style slaw or a mixed green salad. I used to get irritated with people who rated a recipe high or low, then said they'd made substitutions for almost every ingredient. They didn't really make the recipe, so how could they give it an honest review? Well, I'm one of those people now. I decided to try a vegetarian version, so I substituted 2 cups frozen corn kernels for the sausage (you have to increase the seasoning if you do this). The corn is quicker, too--just saute the aromatics in a little canola oil and dump in the corn and the rest of the stuffing ingredients. I gave up the expensive cherry tomatoes and now use one 14.5 ounce can of no-salt-added petite diced tomatoes for convenience. I've substituted Monterey Jack and cheddar for the Swiss cheese, and cheddar is better. We like this recipe more every time we have it, regardless of changes. Pros: Easy, delicious, versatile Cons: None!

Yummy! Had some of the filling left over and plan on using it tomorrow morning in my eggs as one of the other reviewers suggested. Pros: Easy to make and quick. Cons: None

Yummy! I make this frequently. It's so easy to make, and absolutely delicious. I've made it for several people and everyone loves it! Sometimes I just use one squash, then use the leftover stuffing the next morning in eggs. Yummy!!! Pros: Easy to make

spicey squash recipe This recipe is delicious as is. Just follow the recipe and make no changes. I look forward to fall to make this dish. Pros: tasty, filling, easy

I really liked this dish - I used ground beef instead of turkey sausage and added corn. However, I made everything the day before, then tried to reheat it in the oven. It took FOREVER even after turning the heat up and it was still cold at the bottom. So I wouldn't recommend reheating it altogether in this way. I ended up smearing the squash on corn tortillas and spooning the meat mixture on top to make tacos. It was amazing.
