Ingredients
2 acorn squash
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 celery stalks
1 pkg Happy Holidays Stuffing Seasoning
2 cups water
6 cups dry bread cubes
Toppings (optional): dried cranberries, toasted pumpkin seeds
Preparation
- Carefully cut the tops and bottoms off the squash, then cut in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Place squash in the Multipurpose Steamer. Cover (it is okay if the lid does not completely close) and microwave on high for 12 min.
- Melt butter in Sauté Pan over medium-high heat. Thinly slice celery. Add to pan and cook until soft, about 2 min.
- Add seasoning and water; stir to combine. Add bread cubes and cook until bread is soft and liquid has absorbed, about 2 min.
- Set oven to broil.
- Carefully place cooked squash open side facing up on unlined Sheet Pan. Divide stuffing between squash halves. Broil 3—4 min, until crispy and browned.
