SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM STUFFED SQUASH

Sausage & Mushroom Stuffed Squash image

Familiar ingredients make this dish comforting for me. The cheddar cheese is the same kind my family has used for years to make grilled cheese sandwiches. And the croutons remind me of Thanksgiving dinners. -Eliane Oneyear, River Forest, Illinois
