Acorn Squash Fondue

Messing around and playing with fire tonight. I made made fondue in an acorn squash - it was actually really good. We also had ABTs in the wood oven and grilled short ribs on the hearth. I roasted some fingerling potatoes as well but we were hungry when they came out and no pics were taken. 
I love fall weather... Life is good my friends. 






I think this would cook just fine on the egg. A lot of fun. 
Thanks for looking.

"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Looks amazing. Can we get some more details on that fondue? Did you roast the squash, scoop it out, and mix the cheese and squash together?

    I found this recipe and used it as a guide. There were no pie pumpkins at the store so I subbed in the acorn squash. It took a full 1 1/2 hours to cook at 500 degrees. I tented the squash with foil for the first hour. An acorn squash was plenty as an appetizer for two or three people. I used about 5 ounces of cheese and 1/3 cup of cream. I dusted the cheese with cornstarch (not in the recipe). I’ve found that a good thing to do when making queso or fondue. 

    I just scooped out the seeds and string - then added the filling. To eat it we dipped the cheese sauce with toasted croutons. Adter that we just scooped the squash out. It was nice and tender and a bit cheesy.
