Spanish Baked Acorn Squash

Spanish Baked Acorn Squash


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cut squash in half and remove seeds and fibers.

3. I also cut a very thin slice from the other side of the squash so it won't"wobble" while it's baking.

4. Put 1/2 tsp butter, Salt and Pepper in each squash cavity.

5. Place squash halves in an ungreased baking pan (I use a CorningWare casserole with a lid).

6. Fry bacon until crisp, drain and crumble.

7. Reserve bacon drippings.

8. Saute onions, peppers and celery in drippings until tender.

9. Stir in tomato sauce and oregano.

10. Simmer 3- 4 minutes.

11. Spoon tomato sauce mixture into hollow of each squash.

12. Top with bacon.

13. Pour water into dish to 1/4 inch depth.

14. Cover baking dish.

15. You can use foil if you don't have a cover for the dish.

16. Bake for 30 minutes until squash is tender.
