There’s something special about the crisp air and colder days that really brings out the Basic B in me. The minute the leaves start falling and I break out the winter coat I start hoarding hard winter squashes like it is going out of style. Partially because they’re so pretty to look at when you get a variety and use them as fall decorations, but primarily because if you store them well enough ( a wire crate in the garage near the back door is perfect) they will last you until the farmers markets resume in the spring provided you don’t eat them all before then! It sure seems like every year I buy a few more than the last just to make sure my supply doesn’t run out prematurely.

Not your mom’s hamburger helper, this one pan meal is filled to the brim with tender squash and leafy greens. I tend to avoid ground beef in favor of other meats, but not anymore. I composed this dish after a recent trip to cliffs where I grabbed a pre-cut slab of this funny looking German Sweet Potato Squash (similar to a Banana Squash) Having no clue what to do with it and no inclination to go to the store for other ingredients I pulled this together with what we had on hand. Its become part of our weekly rotation because the whole family loves it…so much we rarely have leftovers.
