This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover roast beef and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of acorn squash, but this recipe was really good. The beef filling was so flavorful and the squash was roasted to perfection.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
