Sweet And Buttery Acorn Squash

Ingredients

• 1 medium sized acorn squash (halved and seeded)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In casserole dish or roasting pan, place squash, flesh side up, with a little water in the bottom of the pan to aid in cooking.  Add 1 tablespoon of butter and brown sugar to each half.  Bake for about an hour or until tender.

(If the squash seems unstable when you place into baking pan, trim off a small portion on the bottom half to create a flat surface before baking.)

~ I think even the kids who don't like their vegetables would love this!  Sweet and buttery and a nice addition, especially in the fall and winter months, to any meal. ~
