Used turkey kielbasa instead of links
This worked well for a weeknight meal for my husband and me. The squash needs a bit more salt after it is scooped out and I put some buttered bread crumbs on top before baking.
My husband and I LOVED this! Had a hard time cutting the squash so I microwaved it for 5 minutes. Also, used spicy bulk sausage, otherwise followed recipe as written. It's a keeper!

Very good! I had to cook the squash a bit longer than the suggested time in order to get it cooked thoroughly - though I am sure that varies based on the size of the squash. I think this would also be great with acorn squash.
