I love simple, one dish meals, that I can put together in just a few minutes and then throw in the oven. This easy delicious baked squash is one of those. Stuff the squash with your favorite canned beans, chopped onions and tomatoes, and some spices. Then bake it for around 35 minutes in the oven for a hearty and warm meal perfect for a cool night. Normally when I make these I like to make them in advance and then just place them in the oven when I need a quick meal. They also freeze well, so you can keep some frozen in the fridge. You just need to adjust the cooking time so they come out fully cooked.
