This Acorn Squash with Sausage, Peas & Onions is surprisingly simple, inexpensive, and delicious. It's also very versatile given that you can add anything that you have on hand, like mushrooms, broccoli. etc. This is one of our favorite dinners. My mother-in-law used to make this for us. It reminds me of her every time I make it.
