Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for firm, heavy squash with deep-orange flesh. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Prepare the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the squash: Place the squash halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make the filling: While the squash is baking, make the filling. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and celery until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Stuff the squash: Once the squash is baked and the filling is ready, stuff the squash halves with the filling. Top with shredded cheese and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve hot.

Conclusion:

Aunt Fanny's Cabin Squash is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The combination of sweet squash, savory filling, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home and enjoy the taste of fall all season long.
