I had some friends over and decided on stuffed squash. My version is a tweak on this recipe. I didn’t want to go to the store so I used what I had on hand.
2 x Butternut Squash - 5 lb = $5.00
Hot Breakfast Sausage - 1 lb = $3.59
White Rice - 1 cup = $.30
Onion - 1 whole = $.50
Garlic - 4 cloves = $.30
Canned Mushrooms - 1 can = $1.29
Frozen Spinach - 1 cup = $.30
Shredded Cheese - 1 cup = $1.00
Parmesan Cheese - 2 tbsp
Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Ground Sage - 1 tbsp
Salt and Pepper - to taste
Total = $12.28
Cost per person = $3.07
I stuff my butternut squash in an entirely different way.
