Every fall I look forward to one particular recipe that my mom makes – Acorn Squash & Sausage. It’s such a delicious seasonal recipe, filled with sweet and savory flavors that as soon as the temperature drops & the leaves start to turn, I’m can’t wait to serve it to my family. It’s also easily customized in a number of different ways to suit the tastes of each individual diner. Enjoy and Happy Fall!

I love squash! This looks delish!
I love squash and who knew to combine with sausage, Yum!
Acorn squash is one of my favorite foods of Fall. I love just baking it with butter, cinnamon, a touch of ground cloves. Adding the sausage to it will be even more “better”. Thanks for sharing.
