Steps:
- Prepare grill for about medium heat.
- In large bowl mix up sausage pieces, squash pieces,peppers and onions.
- Combine syrup, orange juice, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Divide sausage, squash,peppers and green onion onto four large pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (big enough square to make a foil"packet" out of) Equally pour syrup mixture over each sausage packet.
- Fold up packets with a tight seal, leaving a little room for heat expansion.
- Put packets on grill over medium heat for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until squash is tender.
- If your seal is tight enough, using oven mitts, rotate the packets a few times throughout cooking to"coat" the ingredients inside with the syrup mixture.
- If you can't, you can baste everything when you open them.
- To check sqaush for tenderness, I will just cut a small opening in the foil big enough to poke a fork in and test a squash cube.
- BE CAREFUL of the steam!

Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- With a sharp knife cut squash crosswise into 2-inch-thick slices. Working with 1 slice at a time, cut side down, cut away peel and seeds and cut squash into 1-inch cubes (about 9 cups).
- In a large bowl stir together squash, bell pepper, oil, garlic, herbs, black pepper, and salt to taste. Transfer mixture to a 2- to 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.
- Bake casserole in middle of oven until squash is tender and top is golden, about 1 hour.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the squash: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or cut it into cubes.
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil helps to bring out their flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose a broth that you like the taste of.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
