I love cooking with the seasons, and Fall is my favorite time of year! The air is crisp, the leaves turn bright colors and decorate the earth below, and the seasonal foods like acorn squash are delicious!

There are two types of acorn squash recipes, sweet and savory. This is a savory recipe that combines the sweet acorn squash with savory meats cream and chives for a beautifully balanced flavor!

2 packages Neufchatel cream cheese
1 pound button and shiitake mushrooms
½ cup bacon crumbles
¼ cup fresh chopped chives
¼ cup fresh chopped chives for garnish
Salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Optional Ingredients

You can also sauté a chopped white onion if you want to add more vegetables and flavor!

Instructions

Wash acorn squash and cut in halves, place on baking sheet

Alternatively, you can bake acorn squash halves for 30 minutes then fill and bake for the remaining 30-40 minutes till soft. This way the filling is less browned on top, and more creamy or moist. When filling acorn squash, make sure to spread evenly between squash halves.
