Sausage-Stuffed Winter Squash

A Great Flavor Combo


1 lg Acorn or med Buttercup squash
8 oz Sausage (venison or pork)
1/2 cup Celery, chopped
2 Tbsp Onions, chopped
1/2 cup Apple, peeled and chopped
1 tsp Flour
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup Sour cream
1/8 tsp Salt
1/3 cup shredded Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Place cut side down in a greased baking dish. Add 1/4" water or apple juice. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute sausage, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is nicely browned. Add apple, and stir for another 3 minutes. Drain.

In a bowl, combine flour, egg and sour cream until smooth. Stir into sausage mixture. Once tender, turn squash over, sprinkle top (flesh) with salt. Fill with sausage mixture. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Cover with cheese, bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
