- Rather than stuffing all the components that traditionally go into stuffed acorn squash, this recipe achieves the best of both worlds. A combination of quinoa, sausage, cranberries, and cheese are combined with chunks of acorn squash to create the perfect casserole. It’s perfect for any fall day and special enough for the Thanksgiving table!

INGREDIENTS
For the squash:
- 2 large acorn squash
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the casserole:
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp minced fresh sage
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut each acorn squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice the squash into ½-inch pieces and cut it into half again. Place the squash on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Drizzle with oil, rubbing the oil around the squash to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and place in the preheated oven. Roast until the squash is deep brown and caramelized, 24-28 minutes. Once the squash is roasted, remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn the heat down to 375°F.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover, and simmer until the quinoa has absorbed the stock and becomes light and fluffy, 20 minutes. Once the quinoa is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the onion and celery are softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and thyme leaves. Stir to warm the garlic and add the sausage. Break the sausage into small bite-sized pieces and cook until it browns, 8 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Add the quinoa, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and feta cheese to the sausage mixture and stir. Add half of the roasted squash to a greased 9×13 baking dish. Pour the filling mixture over the squash in the baking dish and top with the remaining roasted squash. Stir and arrange the squash into the filling and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese. Place in the 375°F oven and bake until warmed through, 24-30 minutes.

I'd love to see a video of you cleaning your pots & baking sheets. They ALWAYS look brand new.
You make the best fall and winter meals. Your meals are healthy and well rounded. I love your kindness and the way you teach.
“I did it for beauty”. This is a lovely way to live.
I bet pecans would be good in it !! I'm from Georgia we put pecans in everything !
Pecans elevate most anything
Just made your squash casserole for a potluck & everyone loved it! I added roasted pecans,also roasted the quinoa. I ate leftovers for breakfast. Healthy, delicious recipe,thank you for sharing. You are a natural born teacher!
Last fall, Mr. Squirrel nibbled at the acorn squash in the fall display on my front porch. Little did I know that he wasn't just being a pest. Come this spring, I had acorn squash plants growing in my front yard landscaping, because he apparently planted the seeds there. I harvested six acorn squash this fall, thanks to my bushy-tailed friend. And now, thanks to you, Caleb, I have a new way of enjoying my squash. Can't wait to eat my unstuffed acorn squash stuffing.
Love a casserole! Also, I can’t get over how approachable and cute you are while being educational. I adore your content style.
I’m going to make mine with couscous instead of quinoa, and will add in dried blueberries, diced apples, and toasted pecans instead of the pumpkin seeds. Can’t wait to try this!
Beautiful recipe.
I had not thought about using quinoa in a stuffing type casserole.
Good idea.
I think this sounds so good Caleb! This is going on my list of "must try" recipes. There's even an acorn squash in my refrigerator right now! I went out to dinner last night and my halibut was served with a butternut squash risotto. It looked gorgeous but it sorely needed your touch. The idea was fabulous but it was lacking garlic, parmesan and seasoning. If you would come up with a recipe for that it would be on my list too! I love your channel and I'm grateful for my special friend Karen that shared one of your recipes with me. Many blessings to you and your as we approach this holiday season! ❤
I shared this with my sisters & nieces, but I told them that I was bringing it for Thanksgiving😉 I got 100+ acorn squash from just 3 hills. No vegetarians this year, but great option👍my nephew said his wife might make it for herself. Told him to stop & get some squash 😆
Awesome recipe. Never cooked and eaten the squash peel. So looking forward to your Christmas videos.
You make my day! I love the view through the windows, when you’re cooking on that side of your kitchen. 😀
I am a great fan of yours, Caleb. I love your recipes, gardening and decor videos. Although, I do suggest that if you want us to eat the “skin” of vegetables that you call it the “peel”. 😉
I never knew the squash skin was edible. 😳 This looks so pretty and festive. Will have to give it a try.
I’m definitely making this for thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing
That really looks awesome! I am willing to try leaving the peal on. 😉🥰
Hi. Love your recipe! I'll try it out for Thanksgiving. Love from Athens,Greece🇬🇷❤
I literally made similar it yesterday but with roasted butternut. I throw a handful of fresh green beans in with quinoa to cook then place butternut on top. Its a favorite and available year round. Love your idea!
Tried the grapefruit spoon trick tonight. Worked a treat. Much easier than a regular spoon.
Love it! You are on a roll!!!
Looks soioooooooo good!!!! You always make recipes that I don’t see anywhere else!
yet another great dish - yee haw !!! I do love squash and will definitely give this one a try. As always, thanks for sharing your ideas, recipes, enthusiasm and inspiration !!!
You're a treasure. Always uplift my day.
Looks super amazingly delicious! 🤩I'm defiantly going to make it. Thank you for sharing.💜
I am running out to the market right now to buy some acorn squash. Can't wait to try this dish. Thanks, Kaleb.
I am def going to make this!!!

That meal is my idea of absolute food heaven. Thankyou for sharing it, I'm definitely going to try it.
Looks amazing.
Looks absolutely delicious.

You inspire me to eat happily healthily!!
This is absolutely delicious. Just made it tonight. The roasted acorn squash really adds a wonderful flavor. This will be a new staple in my meals!
🍽~This looks & sounds delicious Caleb! Healthy too... will be making this!!🧄
Looks yummy good! Not only that but not so complicated to make 👍👍
Yum! And saved to try. And those little turkeys on your counter are so cute!
Looks delicious. Definitely a dish I will make.
Love your videos. I am cooking more now. You explain things very well. Thanks.
Yummy 😋
I made this on Sunday and it's absolutely wonderful!!
Caleb.... I love that biblical name....!
Unlike the Bible, he spells his with a K.
Can't wait to make this for my vegetarian niece!
Delicioso meal 😋 question how do you keep the quinoa from sticking to the pot also what brand is particular cookware???
I just crossed over to the eat the skin side!! Delish and less waste!!
This casserole looks like everything I want to be eating in November 🍁🍂🍁🍂 ya think I could swap farro for the quinoa??
I'm making this
Delicious!nn
Rinse the bitter saponins from the quinoa for even nuttier flavor.
Yummy, I have a question ❓ I love your knives, what brand are they.
Do you ever toast your squash seeds for salads or a soup topping? By the way we love your recipes
Can’t get past eating the heavy waxy squash peel! EEK! 😂 oOther than that one thing, this looks amazing!
You can always peel your squash. That’s what I do😄 cause I don’t like the peel either.
Do you think chicken can be used in place of the sausage? This looks so yummy! 🙂
Have you ever used flaked salt? It’s a game changer over Kosher
What’s the size of three ribs of celery?
Awesome that you encourage people to eat the outside of produce. So much nutrition is wasted when thrown out.
Check out Redmond's real salt from Utah.
chestnuts would be good in that... Again, no garlic for the delicate
goat cheese for me
You can probably even use apples if you don't have cranberries
Use Orange instead of lemon
It looks dry, to me! 🙄It needs mushrooms for some moisture and flavor! I didn't see you add much for seasoning either. For my liking, this recipe looks delicious, however I cook a lot and it just needs some sauce!
