1: Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a large nonstick skillet over  moderate
heat. Add beef and cook, stirring, about 4 minutes or until  browned.
With a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate.  Step 2: Spoon off all
but 1 teaspoon of fat from skillet. Add leeks  and garlic, and saute
about 5 minutes or until browned.  Step 3: Add the tomatoes and dried
herbs to the skillet and bring to a  boil. Stir in the bulgur. Cover
and gently simmer about 15 minutes.  Step 4: Stir in the beef and
season with the salt and pepper. Stuff  the mixture into squash and
place in a roasting pan. Bake about 45  minutes or until tender.  Step
5: To stuff the squash, slice it lengthwise and scoop out the  seeds.
Cut a thin slice from base of each half so it will sit flat.  Spoon the
filling into each half.  Source: the How-To Book of Healthy Cooking:
