How to Make This Little Piggy Went Sailing Pork Sausage In An Acorn Boat
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Halve acorn squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds and pulp. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb pork sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage with 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Spoon the sausage mixture into the acorn squash halves.
- Drizzle each squash half with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place acorn squash boats in a baking dish and add 1/2 cup of chicken broth or water to the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the sausage is heated through. If preparing ahead, bake for a longer time, up to 90 minutes.
- Garnish with extra fresh sage and serve immediately.
