Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Scoop out and coarsely chop the squash pulp.

  3. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and add the squash pulp and bell pepper. Cook 4 minutes or until the pepper is tender-crisp, stirring frequently.

  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the water and margarine. Add the stuffing mix and stir gently with a fork. Spoon 1/2 cup stuffing into each squash half. Press down gently so the stuffing will adhere.

  5. Recoat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray, arrange the stuffed squash in the skillet, cover tightly, and bake 30 minutes or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
