Compared to the conventional Italian sausage sandwich, this is a healthier option. But you’ll still experience the full bratwurst flavor and all your other favorite flavors.

What a surprise! Savory acorn squash. The squash has a creamy texture that absorbs the sweet and spicy flavors! Now I have a choice between making acorn squash with brown sugar or a little spicy pepper sauce!
We made this exactly as instructed and it was WONDERFUL. We will definitely make this again and are sending it to friends & family.
I love acorn squash and this is an interesting, alternative way to eat it (I usually bake it with butter and brown sugar). It has more of a savory flavor with a spicy kick.
