It can be such a pain trying to peel the skin off butternut squash. In this recipe, we leave it on and let it roast in its own skin. All we do is cut it in half, and then remove the seeds using a spoon. We keep this recipe classic with sage, and garlic but add some extra heartiness with ground beef. This recipe never disappoints!
