How to Make Acorn Squash With Cheese Spinach Stuffing

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Halve two small acorn squash, remove seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
2. Bake for 45 minutes, or until slightly tender.
3. While squash is baking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped celery and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
4. Add 1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth), 1/2 cup milk, 5 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese), and 1 1/2 cups stuffing mix.
5. Stir until well combined and heated through. Add more milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
6. Carefully remove squash from oven and flip them over. Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into each squash half.
7. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the stuffing is heated through and the squash is tender. The internal temperature of the squash should reach 200°F (93°C).
8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
