Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, cut in half length wise, guts and seeds removed
- fat of choice
- 1 medium onion, medium-fine dice
- 1 medium pepper {any color}, medium dice
- 6-8 oz {or more!} of your favorite sausage, cut or crumbled
- 1-2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- • salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 375{F}
- Cut your pepper in half length wise, clean it out and the place it cut side down {skin side up} in about a pan with sides and add a little bit of water to it — roast the B-Squash until the inside is fork tender and cooked through — about 30-40 minutes
- While that’s having a good ol’ time in your oven, get a big skillet heating with your fat of choice {I used butter, lots of butter} and add in your onions and peppers to start cooking. When they’ve had a few minutes in there either chop up or crumble your sausage and add it into the pan. Let it finish cooking.
- When your B-Squash is cooked, set the pan on the counter and flip it over and carefully {REALLY carefully} scoop out the insides so you’re left with a really pretty bowl for your filling! Add one half’s insides into your pan with the peppers and sausage and the other half into a storage container {hello lunch tomorrow!}. Then leave your squash in the pan that you just roasted it in, except this time leave it “bowl” side up {or skin side down!}
- Give everything in the skillet a big mix, add in a little more fat and then add in your seasonings and apple cider vinegar. Give it one more stir, taste test and adjust if needed.
- Dot the inside of your squash with your fat of choice and then stuff it with your filling {I didn’t have any leftover, if you do save it for breakfast — it’s going to be a-mazing with eggs!
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you can’t afford or don’t have a fresh pepper don’t worry about it! Just use half a bag or so of your favorite frozen pepper strips! Heck you could rock a bag of frozen peppers and onions to make this cheaper AND easier!
