OK so round two of the simple squash recipes is another acorn squash deal. Halve it and core out the seeds. Paint the hollow with melted butter. Bake it at 325 until golden brown and smelling a bit roasted (about an hour). When you take it out, shred some extra sharp New York cheddar cheese into the center and crumble large pieces of apple smoked bacon in as well.
For a real bender of flavor drop in a few cubbed pieces of a Macintosh apple. Or, you may twist the recipe a bit by filling the hollow with a cream of extra sharp cheddar soup (and still crumbling in the smoked bacon). With each scoop of soup you scrape a bit of the squash into your mouth as well. Mmmmm.
