For a side dish with harvesttime appeal, you can't go wrong with this savory squash bake. It's creamy, comforting and looks pretty, too, thanks to the rich yellow butternut squash and golden crumb topping. -Bertha Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana

I omited the sugar and it was still great. Everyone loved it. Great alternative to sweet butternut squash recipes. I'm going to make it again for Thanksgiving.

Next time I'll try and saute the onions a bit before adding to the squash. The flavour was wonderful

This was a big hit at Christmas Dinner! It's easy to make and doesn't require much time which is also a plus during the busy holidays. It'll be a permanent dish at our christmas table.

This was delicious!!! We made this for our Christmas dinner and it was WONDERFUL! Normaly I just mash the butternut squash with butter, cream, and sugar. So I was a little worried about a "savory" butternut recipe. But it was sooooo good. Everyone at the table loved it and it was a great side dish to the Brisket we made. Thank you taste of home!

Re: Butternut Squash Bake- My fiance and I both thought this recipe was too egg-y and mushy. Sorry!
