Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash - What You Need

To make this recipe there are just a few things you'll need. For the full list of ingredients and amounts check the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • Acorn Squash
  • Pork Sausage
  • Onion
  • Celery
  • Mushrooms
  • Milk
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Egg

Once you have all the ingredients, putting this together is fairly simple. The first thing you'll want to do is prep your acorn squash.

Slice your acorn squash in half, length wise. Make sure your knife is sharp and this part is easy. I use my Dalstrong 9" slicer and it cuts through no problem. After cutting the acorn squash in half scoop out the seeds with a spoon and then place them on a baking sheet.

If you're looking for a good knife checkout what Dalstrong offers. They make beautifully crafted knives, and offer my readers a discount when they use code "SMOKEDMEATSUNDAY10" at checkout.

Setup your smoker to cook at 375 degrees, and once it's up to temp place the baking sheet with the acorn squash in your smoker. Let them cook for about 45 minutes cut side down.

Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash Filling Prep

While the squash is cooking you can prep the filling. The first thing you'll want to do is brown the sausage. I use a large cast iron skillet for this step on the stove. Once the sausage is browned set it aside in a large bowl.

Dice up the Mushrooms, Onion, and Celery and then cook it in the cast iron skillet you just cooked the sausage in. Once the veggies have cooked throw them in the bowl with the sausage.

In a separate bowl combine the milk, parmesan cheese, and an egg. Mix and then pour into your sausage/veggie mixture.⁠

Once the squash is done cooking remove them from your smoker, and flip each of them over on the same cookie sheet they cooked on. Carefully spoon the filling into each of the acorn squash. If you have any excess filling place it in a small casserole dish to cook separately.

Place the sausage stuffed acorn squash back in your smoker and let them cook for an additional 20 minutes to allow the filling to cook through.
