Beef Stuffed Butternut Squash

From here 

This was so good. A little time intensive, but worth it.

1 butternut squash, cut in half and seeded
1 lb ground beef
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 carrots sliced (I used 4 and didn't use the mushrooms the original called for)
1 large sweet onion
1 stalk celery (I didn't have so I used a pepper, but celery would be good too)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 425. Salt & pepper squash and roast 40-45 minutes.

Heat oil on skillet and add half of the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery/pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, sprinkle with cinnamon to taste and cook until meat is browned.

Once squash is cooked, scrape out a hole and add to scraped squash to beef mix. Pour beef mix into holes and bake for 10 more minutes. While baking, caramelize remainder of onion.

Serve topped with crumbled bacon and carmelized onions.
