How to cook deliciously - Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash

1. Stage

Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place them cut side down in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Stage

While the squash is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage and onion for five to seven minutes until the sausage is done and the onion is soft. Drain the sausage and remove from heat. Stir in the spinach, cranberries and bread crumbs. Whisk egg and milk together and stir into the filling.

3. Stage

Divide the filling evenly among the squash. Microwave in a covered dish until the stuffing reaches 165°F, two to three minutes. An instant-read thermometer is a useful kitchen tool you'll use all of the time, here's our favorite kind.
