There are many ways to cook a squash, but I like to keep it as simple as possible. So here's my no fuss method for fall squash cooking.
First, slice your squash in half and remove the seeds. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on each half. Now, you can roast it in the oven, but this time I kept it super simple and used the slow cooker. I put about a half inch of water in the bottom and cooked the squash on high for 3 hours.

When it was done, it looked so, so good. Look at it, all mushy and falling apart. Perfection.

At this point you can just scoop the yummy flesh right out of the skin and enjoy. I like a little brown sugar on mine.

Or a lot. Whatever.
Happy squash eating. :-)
I've never made squash in the slow cooker. I usually just roast it away with olive oil, salt, pepper & maybe some rosemary. Definitely brown sugar on acorn squash!
