Baked Acorn Squash with Bacon and Brown Sugar
Ingredients
1 acorn squash
2 tsp butter divided between each half
2 tsp brown sugar divided between each half
1-2 slices bacon 1/2 to 1 slice per half
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Wash the outside of the squash.
Microwave the whole acorn squash for 3-1/2 minutes. Remove with hot pads or a towel. Lay the squash on its side (not end) and slice the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Put the squash in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. A loaf pan will usually work.
Rub the cut side of the squash with 1 teaspoon of butter and put the remaining piece in the center for each half.
Add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar in the center of each half of the squash. Sprinkle each side with a pinch of salt.
Line the center of each squash with 1/2-1 slice of bacon.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the squash is fork tender.
