  • Tip

    By choosing meatless sausage, you can save about half the fat grams per patty compared to using pork or beef sausage.

Ingredients

  • 1  medium acorn squash
  • 1/2  cup Green Giant® frozen sweet peas
  • 1/2  cup water
  • 1/4  teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/8  teaspoon salt
  • 1/2  cup uncooked instant brown rice
  • 3  frozen meatless breakfast sausage patties (from 8-oz box)
  • 2  tablespoons shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. In 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish, place squash halves, cut side down. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on High 9 to 11 minutes or until squash is fork-tender.
  2. 2Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat peas, water, thyme and salt to boiling over high heat. Stir in rice; return to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir. Let stand covered 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  3. 3Heat 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage patties; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly heated, breaking up patties into 1/2-inch pieces as they thaw.
  4. 4Fluff rice mixture with fork; stir in sausage and cheese. Spoon rice mixture into squash halves.
