Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash, about 850g
- 40g butter
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 6 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 1tsp Asda coarse grain mustard

Method
1 Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5. Halve the butternut squash, remove the seeds and put on a baking tray, cut side up. Dot the flesh with half the butter, cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, fry the onion and bacon in the oil and remaining butter until the onion is soft and the bacon crisp. Put in a bowl and stir in the mustard, thyme, walnuts, breadcrumbs and cheese. Season and pile onto the squash.
3 Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes more, or until squash is completely tender and the cheese has melted. Cut in half to give four portions, and serve.
