16 Reviews of Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash-Crock Pot

From: ColoradoCookin'

On Dec 12, 2007

I was looking for a recipe to use a lovely squash I was given, with not much in the house. This recipe inspired some cool changes that were yummy. I used a box of rice a roni long grain and wild rice mix, chunky spaghetti sauce and water instead of broth as well as mozzarella cheese. YUMMY!

    I made this using the pine nuts rather than pumpkin seeds & substituted fresh for dried basil. I also omitted the salt & used no-salt-added tomato paste. Sprinkled liberally with some great goat's cheese we get at the farmer's market here. It was great! I know I'll make it often because I love squash and I love goat's cheese and I love crockpot cooking.

    Quite tasty, and looks impressive on the table. I'll definitely be making this one again!

    I think the best part was the cheese. It was excellent. I don't have a slow cooker so I put this in the oven at 350 for about an hour. It could have stood to be in there a little more. I also used one acorn squash and one carnival squash. They tasted pretty much the same. Great recipe - thanks!

    This turned out really well. I wondered whether the wild rice would be sufficiently cooked, and it came out great. Flavorful and healthy.

    Yum! Made it the first time in the crockpot. The second time I wanted to make a larger quantity so I covered it and baked it in the oven, covered. Just as good.

    What a yummy satisfying vegetarian meal this made! I couldn't find acorn squash, so I used a baby butternut. I also used long grain rice, fresh basil and pine nuts. Served with a salad, this was plenty of food for a main dish. Very tasty and hearty. Thanks Sharon!

    DEEEEE-LISH! I just made this last night and was at first skeptical that it would be bland. But wrong I was! The flavors meld nicely together for a satisfying meal. Not having time to use the crock-pot, I made the squash the usual way (cut side down in a water filled pan). I cooked the rice separately too and mixed together all the filling ingredients. I then put the filling in the squash, roasted them in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes. I added the goat cheese and a little shredded chedder at the end until melted. It's a great recipe and I'll be making it again.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I'm making this for the third or forth time today--it is so good!! I pretty much follow directions to the T, with the only change being that I serve this as the entree and I crumble whatever sausage I have hanging around on top. It's so delicious and it makes a FANTASTIC two-person meal--a complete dinner in the crockpot with no left overs? Absolutely perfect for me. Thanks!!!

    Kind of bland as written. Could use some more seasoning of some kind. Okay, but not great.
