Delicious.. The standard recipe for, "country style," baked winter squash
"I have made this several times now and it is always a HUGE hit!! Just like my mom used to make when I was growing up!! The first 2 times I made it my husband refused to try it saying "I hate squash!!" But after watching the Trips each devour half a squash on their own and cry cause there wasn't any more left; he decided to try it the next time. He was amazed at how awesome it tasted and now begs me to make it all the time!!" - tripletmamaYield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes

Notes Baked Acorn Squash with Brown Sugar Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°. Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Halve 2 medium acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds each) crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.
3. Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar among halves; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

This was very good but mine needed to cook longer. I will add more time the next time I make this.

This is great with Spaghetti Squash too if you can't get acorn.

Just the recipe I was looking for. Add some ground cloves and it's heaven in your mouth. The best part is that my toddler loves it and is pestering me to make it again!

I didn't have acorn squash, so I just used yellow squash and it was still good. One thing I would suggest us to try it with cinnamon. I did and it was great.

Made this tonight and we loved it! Skipped the salt and pepper to keep the sodium down and it was still great.

Great! Using the microwave really speeded up the prep and cook time.

Delicious!

I make a similar dish in the microwave, with chopped apples in the center, brown sugar on top. It is delicious.
