says:I made this yesterday for dinner. It turned out really good. I used the ingredients in the recipe. It was probably the squash I chose. Rounded on both ends which took much more time to prep. Each side held about a cup of stuffing. I made way too much, but baked the excess with the scraps from the squash chopped in it. I added 15 minutes baking time to get the squash extra soft and topped it all with Romano cheese. When I make it again I will add some chicken broth to the mix before adding to squash bowls.

says:Cathy Kopp!!! ..I saw this recipe and need to make it..looking forward to getting ingredients this weekend. I’m hoping that it’s still yummy with less onions and garlic…got me a fussy eater…Wondering if you and I met at the Strong House Inn in Vermont several years ago…funny because if this is you, your name came up when I saw Pam this past weekend…..
