Ingredients

2 Delicata Squash halved, cleaned and sliced into 1/2 inch slices
Salt
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
1 pound Ground Beef
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Italian Seasonings
1 Onion chopped
7 ounces Arugula
2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Place the squash on a baking sheet with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Toss and then place the squash in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake the squash for about 20 minutes or until the squash is fork tender and starting to brown.
While the squash is cooking, start cooking the ground meat.
In a sauté pan, add the ground beef, garlic powder, Italian seasonings and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Make sure to break up the meat while cooking at high heat for about 3-5 minutes or until browned.
Using a slotted spoon remove the ground beef from the pan and place on a separate plate.
Next add the onion to the pan and sauté over medium heat until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the onion has finished cooking, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan and add them to the beef.
To prepare the salad, toss the arugula with the vinegar.
Add the ground beef mixture to the arugula and then layer the squash on top.
Add salt and vinegar to taste.
