This was an EXCELLENT dish! I won my friends over with this recipe and it was so easy to make. It was incredibly full of flavor and a satisfying meal. Will definitely be preparing this again! kelley.borer	1 week 5 days ago
My husband and I loved this dish. It was warm and cozy and flavorful... perfect for a cold fall night. I made a couple of changes to the recipe to fit our tastes and lifestyle. First, I used "veggie" sausage instead of chicken sausage because my husband does not eat meat. (I cooked the onions, peppers and garlic before I added the sausage.) Second, I added 1/2 a jalapeno pepper some cilantro to the stuffing as well. Also, I stuffed two halves of acorn squash with the stuffing as well as two large poblano peppers. I roasted them together and ate the poblanos with tortillas. Delicious!	3 weeks 4 days ago
These are great! I used 2 cans of RoTel tomatoes instead of fresh, omitted the salt, added a can of green chiles, omitted the hot sauce (plenty of heat from the previous ingredients) and used pepper-jack cheese instead of swiss. My husband, who insists he does not like squash, even said these were great. Really nice fall meal.	3 weeks 5 days ago
Sooo good! I also used carnival squash. I added different spices (curry lemongrass and marash pepper) instead of the chili powder and cumin and it was delicious. I also added a few more chopped veggies instead of sausage to the mixture and some Harvest Grains from Trader Joe's and have another dish later in the week to heat up for a quick after work meal. sachadilla	4 weeks 22 hours ago
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes for fall/winter. It's flavorful and very filling. My boyfriend was never a big squash eater & he loved it as well - one smallish squash was enough for both of us (and he's a pretty big guy). I had some extra filling so I used it to stuff a roasted poblano pepper - wonderful!	4 weeks 6 days ago
This is a favorite. Easy to put together with pantry ingredients and delicious. We frequently leave out the sausage with outstanding results. marcia1	5 weeks 1 day ago
We adore this recipe, especially with carnival squash (a very tasty variety similar to acorn).	8 weeks 4 days ago
