When I was shopping the other day I noticed a squash I had never tried. Buttercup Squash. After doing some research I came up with this recipe from Cooks.com, with a couple of changes, of course.
I cut the Squash in half and removed the seeds. I baked the squash cut side down for 45 minutes. Meanwhile I sauteed chopped onion in a knob of butter. Added ground beef and browned it. After the meat cooled I mixed it with 2 eggs, 1 chopped tomato, 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese and 1 cup Cheddar Cheese salt, pepper, parsley and oregano. Then I filled each squash half with the mixture and topped it with Panko Breadcrumbs and baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
It was a snowy (?) night and this was a warm and comfortable meal.
I love the idea of stuffing these with beef and topping with panko – yum! They look really pretty.
This looks wonderful! Yummy!!
I hope that you feel better soon!
This is such an awesome fall meal…pure comfort! I love your header photo. 😀
Thank you! It was perfect for the fall and you can put anything in as a filling.
Squash is so flavorful when it's baked. Stuffing it with your favorite ingredients just brings it to a new level. Your dish looks really nice.
We have a similar dish in Colombia! I have to make it soon!
I picked up some more squash this weekend and am looking for different fillings to try.
