Cover the baking dish and maintain the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the squash are tender when you insert a small, sharp knife into the flesh.

Pour ½ cup water into the dish around the squash.

Sprinkle the insides of the squash with salt and pepper and pumpkin spice mix and place in a piece of butter in the center of each.

Place the squash halves, hollowed side up, in a baking dish large enough to hold them.

Cut a sliver off the squash bottoms so they will sit flat.

Cut each squash in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard.

2 tbsps unsalted butter, cut into 6 equal pieces.

½ tsp of pumpkin spice mix (I used Club House’s Pumkin Pie spice blend).

3 medium acorn squash sliced in half or 6 small ones, about 2 lbs.

It’s well worth the few steps to enjoy this creamy cheesy and deliciously stuffed squash that I know you and your family will love. It’s very easy to make although it takes a little while to make with a few simple steps. This is one of my favorite Fall foods I have made this season encapsulating all the Fall flavours I love in a delicious and most appealing dish. If you know me, you know I’m very much a savoury food lover not so much of sweet tooth here. They are perfect with anything spiced and that goes for this dish as well. Speaking of crunch, I love the crunch the pecans add to the filling as well. The meat, in this case the pork, adds so much flavour to the filling and a nice bit of saltiness and crunch. The bacon itself can also be replaced with Pancetta or even spicy sausage pan fried in place of it. This recipe is easily made vegetarian by swapping the bacon for meaty mushrooms. It absorbs these flavours and then later the lovely flavours of the stuffing making it a delight to eat in each bite. The flesh of the squash gets so tender and is lightly spiced, seasoned and buttered before stuffing. Although if using those you will have to cut those in half lengthwise and stuff them open faced.

If you don’t have any of these baby squashes around feel free to use baby pumpkins in place of them or you can use some small butternut squashes as well. Make sure to over-stuff the squash a little as the ingredients tend to sink in with the whole liquid absorption process. The liquid ingredients may look like a lot, but have no fear they are fully absorbed by the bread and the squash itself. It’s such a pretty looking dish as the shape of the squash is always eye catching and also makes it the main attraction as well. The spiced cream with the bread takes this luscious dish from a starter/side dish to a main. It’s called a bread pudding stuffed squash because part of the filling is cubed crusty bread which soaks up all the flavours so well from the spiced cream and also from the rest of the ingredients. These stuffed squashes are stuffed to the brim with a delicious combo of ingredients. Make sure and checkout their website to see all the spice blends along with recipe ideas to use them in. Club House has a few of these lovely and handy spice blends that make baking and cooking fun and convenient.

Pumpkin pie spice is for more than pumpkin pie - Savoury Stuffed squash with bacon & kale bread pudding - both the squash and creamy filling were spiced with Club House’s Pumpkin Pie Spice and the result = a taste of fall in every bite! It’s nice to have a spice blend like this at your fingertips - saving time blending your own and pantry space. What I don’t have to sacrifice no matter the weather is fall spices and flavours and this recipe is completely infused with them. Sorry to disappoint, I’m very much a warm weather lover and would even sacrifice the beauty of fall for warmer weather.

If I were to choose I would choose fall flavours with tropical weather any day. This is the first year in many that I have enjoyed fall flavours with the fall weather, leaves and sweaters. Living in Trinidad for the last 6 years, I enjoyed fall flavours but without fall.
