Ingredients:  
2 acorn squash
1 T oil
1/2 C onion diced fine
1/2 T minced garlic
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 C Baby Bella mushrooms chopped
1/4 dried figs chopped
1/2 C chicken stock

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C pecans chopped
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease baking sheet lightly with oil.

Slice acorn squash in half, scoop out seeds and place flat on paper. Bake the squash for 20 minutes until it is tender when pierced by a fork.

While the squash cooks heat oil in large pan. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook for an additional 10 minutes until browned.

Once meat is browned, add in mushrooms, figs, chicken stock, pecans, herbs, pepper and salt to the beef. Sauté an additional 5 minutes.

When the squash is done, remove from the oven and scoop out most most of the cooked center, leaving the mostly empty squash boat on the baking sheet.

Add the spooned out squash into the meat mixture and stir until completely mixed. Scoop the mixture back into the empty squash boats and top with cheese.

Bake at 450º for 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and then broil for 2-3minutes so the cheese gets crispy.
