Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F. Combine everything except the squash well, just as you would for any meatloaf. Stuff the squash, mounding up whatever won't fit. If your squash is small and you have a ridiculous amount of stuffing left, just roll it into a ball and tuck it in the roasting pan next to the squash. Speaking of which, put the stuffed squash halves stuffing side up in that roasting pan, which should be lightly oiled. A little olive oil is fine.
Pop it in the oven until the squash is soft, which should take at least an hour with the stuffing. If you have a thermometer, you can test the inside of the meatloaf; it should register at least 160°.
Notes
I made this up tonight and it turned out well--much better than I expected. Take bites of the squash and the stuffing at the same time.
