Crock-Pot Sweet Acorn Squash
Acorn Squash is by far my favorite food to make. I was given a surplus last week and had 12 smaller sized ones to make up and freeze. After cooking, just scoop out the “meat” and put in a freezable container.

Instructions
- Place Acorn Squash skin side down in crock-pot.
- With a knife, place small cuts from the center of the Acorn Squash to the top without cutting thru the skin. This will allow the butter and sugar to penetrate the Squash.
- Put butter and brown sugar in middle of each Acorn Squash half.
- Cook on high for 3 hours.

Acorn squash is my favorite too! Great, simple yummy recipe. Nice meeting you through bloghop.
I think it’s my friend’s @foodwanderings’ favorite squash, too. I have yet to try it this season.

What a great idea to cook acorn squash in the crock-pot! Thanks for sharing!
Can you layer more than one squash in the pot? I have a round crock pot and I’d like to cook 2 whole squash at the same time. What do you think?
Yes. I think that would work just fine.
If you’re lucky to find Delicata squash, save the seeds and toast them. They are sweet and delish, akin to popcorn. Delicatas are hard to find in Florida and they are seasonal but if you find them, buy many, cook and freeze.
