Twice-baked squash

  • I just found this yummy looking recipe on the Pillsbury website, looks like a great substitute for twice-baked potatoes! It has brown sugar, but I think it could definitely be done without, or a sprinkle of Splenda on top for a little sweetness.

    Jessie

    3 small buttercup squash (about 2 lb.)
    1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    6 tablespoons brown sugar

    1. Heat oven to 425°F. Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds and fibers. Place squash in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Cover tightly with foil.
    2. Bake at 425°F. for 30 to 40 minutes or until squash is tender. Cool 10 minutes.
    3. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Scoop out squash, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell. Place squash in medium bowl. Reserve shells. Add sour cream, salt and nutmeg; mix until smooth. Fill each squash shell with squash mixture. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Place filled shells in same baking dish.
    4. Bake at 375°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
