    I added a pinch of nutmeg to the squash mixture and it gave it a lovely warmth. Definitely a keeper!

  • Evan Roberts

    My kids are picky eaters, but they actually enjoyed this! I think the sweetness of the sugar helped. I'll be making this again.

  • Betsy Kling

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I had so much squash from my garden and didn't know what to do with it. This casserole was delicious and easy to make.
