5 acorn squash bacon recipes

Sweet and buttery squash with a hint a maple and bacon; enjoyable and easy to make! A Christmas and Thanksgiving favourite.

I didn't like acorn squash so much in the past, but now I'm converted by this delicious soup. It was loaded with great flavor, and I couldn't stop eating it. I think butternut squash should work too. Have saved the recipe into my recipe box, and also sent it to my mom who loves squash soup.

Can't make up your mind how fancy to get? Here are 2 presentations of this tasty squash--one homey and one for "dress-up".

Summer squash and corn chowder with smoked trout, bacon, zucchini, and cream. A hearty seasonal soup built on bacon drippings and finished with flaked smoked fish.

Sweet potato, apple, and onion gratin layered with Granny Smith apples, sauteed onions, and a crispy bacon-cheddar-breadcrumb topping broiled golden brown.
