Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut each squash in half and discard the seeds. Place cut side down in a 3-quart rectangular baking pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until tender.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, in a large frypan, saute the ground beef, onion, and celery over medium-high heat until the meat is browned, then drain off any fat.

  3. 3

    Blend the flour, salt, and sage into the meat, then stir in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just comes to a boil and thickens.

  4. 4

    Stir in the cooked rice. Turn the squash halves cut side up in the pan and fill each cavity with an equal amount of the meat mixture.

  5. 5

    Return to the oven and bake an additional 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the colby and cheddar over the tops and bake 3 minutes longer, until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
