“We always grow squash in our garden, and this recipe is one of our favorites ways to cook it. My grandkids like this vegetable dish because of the marshmallows.”

INGREDIENTS

* 2 medium acorn squash, halved and seeded
* 1/3 cup crushed saltines
* 1/4 cup chopped pecans
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, divided (optional)
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 cup miniature marshmallows

DIRECTIONS

1. Place squash cut side up in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. In a bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, pecans, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and nutmeg. Spoon into squash. Brush edges of squash with remaining butter. Cover and bake at 400 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until squash is tender. Sprinkle with marshmallows. Bake, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
