There’s something about stuffed squash that looks like you’ve pulled out all the stops in making dinner.
But really, it’s so easy! If you can cut a squash in half, you can do this!
This recipe for stuffed acorn squash is perfect for fall. The colors of the squash look so pretty on the table at this time of year and the cranberries are seasonal too. I served this on a Tuesday night and my daughter and husband loved it!
College Inn® Chicken Broth adds rich, savory flavor to complement the sweetness of the squash and cranberries. I used chicken that I cooked in a skillet, but if you have leftover turkey after Thanksgiving this would be a wonderful way to serve it.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this dish. It’s so simple with only six ingredients, plus olive oil, salt and pepper. If you decide to try out this recipe, share your photos on social media using

I used quinoa this time, but wild rice would also be quite good if you’d like to try a different grain.
