Sausage and Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash
This delicious dinner is easy to make and impressive to serve. Wild Rice Blend combined with Italian Sausage, Onions, and Cranberries stuffed into Roasted Acorn Squash Halves.
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 45 MinTotal time: 55 Min
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. Wild Blend Rice Mixture, cooked per package directions
- 4 Acorn Squash, halved, seeds removed
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1/2 Vidalia Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 t. dried thyme
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 oz. Italian Sausage, casings removed
- 1/4 c. dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare the rice according to package directions. I used a rice cooker for 45 minutes.
- Cut a small slice off of the side of each acorn squash half so that they sit flat. Place onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up, and roast in a preheated 350* oven for about 35-45 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.
- About 15 minutes before the rice is cooked, heat the olive oil in a skillet over med-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the Italian Sausage to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to crumble it as it cooks. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then stir in the dried cranberries and thyme.
- When the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the sausage and stir until combined.
- Place the roasted acorn squash halves onto a serving platter. Fill each with 1/4 of the sausage and wild rice mixture and serve.
