When HLN asked me to create a variety of easy tailgating recipes for the #TUMSsweepstakes tailgating series, I knew immediately that I wanted to create an Acorn Squash recipe for people to enjoy. With so many people switching to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, and with the success of my Cous Cous stuffed Acorn Squash around Thanksgiving, I knew that I had to bring back the underrepresented vegetable for another round of yumminess.

Acorn squash are perfect for tailgating and for your Super Bowl party! They’re easy to prepare, fun to fill, and they make cleanup pretty much nonexistent. You know I love a quick clean up! With this dish all you’re going to do is roast the acorn squash and then fill it with your favorite ingredients. To make it bbq flavored, I’ve added a little sprinkle of my favorite bbq rub to the flesh of the squash before baking. Then I just filled it with black beans, corn, pulled bbq chicken and a drizzle of bbq sauce and siracha ranch. To make it vegetarian, just leave out the pulled chicken or replace with bbq seasoned vegan ground beef. Don’t overthink it, this recipe truly is that simple.

Tip- When I prepare dishes like this for a lot of people, I always do a buffet style. That way people can just make their acorn squash bowl the exact way that they like it.
