   2      Medium        acorn squash
     1/2  C.            brown rice
   1      Pkg.          pork-sausage meat -- (16 oz.)
   1                    egg
   1      Can           sliced mushrooms -- (3 oz.) drained
   1      Tbsp.         maple syrup or maple
                        flavored syrup
     1/2  Tsp.          salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut each acorn squash lengthwise
in half; discard seeds. Place squash halves, cut side down, in
12 x 8-inch baking dish; bake 45 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare
rice according to package directions. In 10-inch skillet over
medium heat, cook pork-sausage meat until browned. Remove meat
(discard drippings) to medium bowl; toss with egg, mushrooms,
syrup and cooked brown rice. Turn the squash halves, cut side
up, in the baking dish; sprinkle the squash with salt. Spoon
the meat mixture into the squash halves. Cover with foil and
bake 15 minutes or until tender. Transfer to warm platter and
serve.
