Squash sausage rice

I learned this meal from my sister-in-law. It is one of the easiest, quickest meals to make. And delicious! There are 3 ingredients:

Acorn squash, sausage, and rice. And honey if you want to add a touch of sweetness to the squash (but that makes 4 ingredients). (Just check to make sure the sausage is gluten-free--Kroger's mild sausage is, but I don't remember which others are off the top of my head.)

I just throw the rice in the rice cooker (or cook it however you normally do), cook up the sausage on the stovetop, throw those together, and serve them in half an acorn squash. There are a few ways to cook the squash. The easiest is the microwave. Poke it with a knife in a few places to vent the steam (or it WILL explode. Not that that's happened to me....), then cook it for a few minutes. Probably 4-6 minutes, give or take a few depending on the size of the squash. Then cut it open, scoop out the seeds and eat. Or if you want to do it in the oven, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and place cut-side down in a pan with a 1/2 inch of water, then cook at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until it's soft.

Enjoy!
