Had to try this. First of all, the house smells absolutely wonderful when it's in the oven! I subbed several ingredients just due to what I had on hand...for nuts I used sunflower seeds, for meat I used ground sirloin, for spices I used cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg and green pepper instead of carrot/celery. DELICIOUS and so easy. I want to try with walnuts, cranberries, apples and maple sausage next time. YUM!

We had never had acorn squash, but saw this on one of Alton's "Good Eats" episodes. It looked and sounded too good not to try. It turned out to be very easy to prepare, but alittle bland. I put in some Greek season and this was perfect. For some this would be perfect, but here in SE Oklahoma we are used to somewhat spicey food and the added spice was just the extra touch. I still give this a rating of 5 star and we found that we liked acorn squash.
Great job, Alton. I will use this again.

This was very tasty, and I think those who called it bland are used to using waaay too much spice or fat in a dish as the flavoring. My acorn squashes were ~1.5lb since I couldn't find anything smaller, but I still had a lot of stuffing left over. The extra stuffing by itself is perfect for a treat, and was the dinner we fed our 16 month old while we ate the squash ourselves. The flavor of the squash went perfectly with the stuffing, and it's quite nice when you have a bite with both on the fork.
This is definitely one we'll be doing again!

I loved the ease of this tasty, visually appealing dish. I assembled it while my toddler watched and my infant was sleeping - a huge plus to be able to juggle both with ease. I will definately be adding this dish to my holiday menu. I have a house full of people to cook for and this will be a huge conversation piece and make everyone feel the holiday spirit and give me some hostess points with the inlaws! Just as easy, if not easier than spaghetti dinner - with much more of an impact!

This dish was abosolutely delicious, so healthy, and is very diet-friendly! I cut the recipe in half, as it was just my husband and me. One whole squash with the stuffing ended up being too much, yielding leftovers for lunch the next day. Instead of ground pork, I used ground turkey. I substituted chicken broth for the wine, and added nutmeg to the stuffing. For the last ten minutes of cooking, I grated a bit of fresh parmesan cheese on the top. It was incredible! Can't wait to make this fall dish again. Alton never disappoints!

I made this tonight simply because I had spinach and acorn squash in my CSA box that I wanted to cook. I wasn't expecting to love this recipe, but I couldn't stop eating it after the first bite! After reading the reviews, I had planned to add a few extra ingredients because it did sound a little bland. However, I forgot and cooked the recipe as stated. Thank goodness I forgot, it was perfect as is and didn't need anything else. Not sure what the others did wrong to think its bland. It has made me look forward to receiving more squash because I can't wait to make this again.

YUMMY and oh so easy! I did use chicken stock in place of the wine as I had an opened box waiting to be used. Additionally, I made twice the amount of stuffing...again, in order to use a pound of sausage I had on hand. VIOLA! great Fall/Winter weekday dinner and pretty enough to make again for company...it looks like you've spent all day in the kitchen!

As any regular viewer of Alton Brown can tell you, his magic is not in the recipes he uses but in the techniques. This episode was on how to craft a stuffing, balancing flavoring ingredients against textures - using the Tonight Show model!

For lent, we opted to skip the meat element and, on one occassion, substituted firm tofu and on the second a variety of wild mushrooms. Both variations worked well, but the mushroom variant was truly excellent. Also, in lieu of plain rice, we used a wild rice melange which lent wonderful flavor and texture!

In our book, this is another winner from AB!
