Stuffed Squash Makes Me Stuffed!

I've done stuffed zucchini before, but tonight for dinner I tried a winter squash: acorn squash. It was my first time making a stuffed acorn squash (or really any winter squash) and it came out rather good! It wasn't entirely from scratch as I used a packet of seasoning for the ground beef and used a boxed rice for the rice, but still it came out very tasty and VERY filling. I topped it with extra sharp New York cheddar. We indulged tonight and each ate half of the acorn squash stuffed, but I think normally a stuffed acorn squash is enough to feed four people. I'm really enjoying cooking real food and eating it rather than scraping by on processed foods.

I'm actually glad I thought to add the seasoning packet to the beef because it had a sweetness to it that really complemented the acorn squash very nicely.
