2 medium acorn squash (about 1-lb each)
3/4 pound ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, diced
1 cup nonfat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pepper to taste

1. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds. Cook squash in 1/2 inch deep water in covered skillet (I use the electric skillet). This takes about 10 minutes. Drain liquid from squash cavities.

2. Meanwhile, brown meat and onion in saucepan, stir in rest of ingredients. Turn off heat and use heat in burner to finish heating mixture, stirring frequently.

3. To serve, place squash cut side up on plates sprinkle lightly with pepper if desired. Spoon meat mixture into squash centers.
