It's fall, and the squash in the markets start calling. Acorn squash is the perfect size to cut in half and stuff for two people for a nice dinner (or one with leftovers!). You could make this with any ground protein - beef, turkey, or lamb. The venison is very lean, and it lends itself well to the spices, but also accentuates the sweetness of the squash. The tang of the yogurt and the cheddar also contrast well with the sweetness, and provide some creaminess to the dish. This comes together quickly, and you can easily make a nice green salad while the squash cooks or roast some cumin glazed carrots along with the squash.
