| 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. | 2. Cut squash in half and remove seeds and fibers. | 3. I also cut a very thin slice from the other side of the squash so it won't"wobble" while it's baking. | 4. Put 1/2 tsp butter, Salt and Pepper in each squash cavity. | 5. Place squash halves in an ungreased baking pan (I use a CorningWare casserole with a lid). | 6. Fry bacon until crisp, drain and crumble. | 7. Reserve bacon drippings. | 8. Saute onions, peppers and celery in drippings until tender. | 9. Stir in tomato sauce and oregano. | 10. Simmer 3- 4 minutes. | 11. Spoon tomato sauce mixture into hollow of each squash. | 12. Top with bacon. | 13. Pour water into dish to 1/4 inch depth. | 14. Cover baking dish. | 15. You can use foil if you don't have a cover for the dish. | 16. Bake for 30 minutes until squash is tender. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
