Baked Bean & BBQ Meatball Stuffed Acorn Squash

Always looking for new ways to get some squash into my family's diet! 😏👍 I also use these "Nourish Bowls" alot for many different recipes. Spinach dips, soups, squash, & MORE! 👌😎 *Tip- If you use vegan alternative meatballs & cheese, or even just leave those ingredients out,... then this can be a delicious & nutritious vegan meal! 👏🏆 #acornsquash #squashrecipe #veganrecipe #meatballs #bbqmeatballs #bakedbeans #fridgecleanout #leftoversmakeovers

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°. Slice acorn squash in half & scoop out seeds. (*save these for later & make a delicious snack out of them! 🤤 see attached recipe) Next, place acorn squash halves on a cookie sheet or baking dish.

* Step 2

Now, cover the insides of the acorn squash halves in 1 tbsp olive oil each. Then, sprinkle each half with 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, & cinnamon. Next, drizzle 1 tablespoon of syrup and 1/2 tablespoon of honey onto each squash half. Lastly, drop in a few red onions to each half & add 1/2 cup brown sugar to each half as well. Place into oven for 30-45 minutes or until squash is softened all the way through.

* Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare your baked beans & bbq meatballs in separate medium saucepans. Also, begin to saute your "Nourish Bowl" in a medium frying pan with remaining tablespoon of oil & minced garlic. (*feel free to also add in a pinch of salt & pepper here if you like 😏👍)

* Step 4

When everything is done, turn off heat on the stovetop & set aside. Remove squash from oven & reduce oven heat to 325°. Add 1/2 cup - 1 cup of baked beans to the inside of each squash. (depending on size of squash & your preference.) Followed by 1/2 - 1 cup of "Nourish Bowl" mixture.

* Step 5

Next, add 2-5 bbq meatballs & 1-2 tablespoons of sauce to the top of your acorn squash bowls. (again, depending on size of squash, meatballs, & also your preference.)

* Step 6

Finally, top with shredded mozzarella or your preferred cheese & return to oven for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted to your desired preference.
