Acorn Squash Stuffed With Venison and Corn image

I had never worked with Acorn Squash before, so I kind of made it on the spot, but it is delicious! This is a yummy, cheap way to use left overs and still have fall flavors. You can substitute the meat for beef or leave it out and add extra veggies for a vegetarian meal. Can be used as a side dish for a larger group accompanying a larger entree.

I love the idea of stuffing acorn squash, but this recipe didn't work for me. The stuffing was too dry.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This was a great recipe. Easy to follow and the dish turned out delicious. I used ground beef instead of venison and it was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of venison, but this dish was amazing. The acorn squash was perfectly roasted and the cornbread stuffing was moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
