Acorn Squash a little different

 "This stuffed squash was VERY good. I served it alongside Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apples for a yummy fall meal. All of my dinner guests loved it! I added 3/4 tbsp of rum to each half and left out the raisins.... I also burned the tops when i had it in the oven at 480... I would recommend putting it in at 400 for 45 min, and possibly microwaving the squash for a little bit first to soften them up. I will be making this again!" - Tsparby

    This was delicious! I did have to use Welsh whiskey though, didn't have rum. But I will make it again! Thanks for posting!
