Roasted & Stuffed Acorn Squash

How about a sweet and savory autumn squash recipe?

I love the cozy fall feelings I get when squashes are roasting in the oven. Even better is eating squashes stuffed with colorful, tasty ingredients. The molasses and cinnamon really add that sweet holiday flavor. And there’s bacon, of course.  I can’t tell you how yummy and comforting this stuffed squash really is! You just have to try it for yourself.
