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

This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want any of the brown sugar, mapley syrup, sweet stuff. Even my 4-year old greatgrandson loved it.
