"I have now made this about eight times, and each time we love it. My grandparents are requesting it for the third time in three visits.

That said, I have not yet tried it with the squash boats. I have served it over rice, which was fine. Over time I've transitioned to serving it burrito-style with seasoned rice, black beans, and all the toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado, etc. It stands up extremely well like this too, so for those of you who want to try it a little different way, I highly recommend it. I'd like to give the squash a try sometime as well.

I've transitioned to cooking it in the crock pot for simplicity's sake, but the oven works too. I also tend to buy a cheap roast and chop it into chunks rather than buying stew meat to save money, since I'm on a tight budget."
