If I ask our two girls (ages 7 and 14) what to fix for a special meal, this dish is always requested. I discovered this slightly sweet and crunchy-topped casserole at a church dinner about 10 years ago, and now I take it to potluck dinners and come home with an empty dish! -Julie Jahn, Decatur, Indiana

This is the most requested recipe I have. It is so simple to prepare. During the holidays when were invited to a family get together I'm always asked to bring this dish. Everyone loves it!

I make this at leat once a month. My kiddos all love it. Instead of the rice crispies cereal, I always use Cascadian Farms Oat & Honey Granola cereal. It even tastes great the next day as leftovers!

It's easy to see why this is an award winner! My family enjoyed this and my grandson even asked for seconds which is unheard of as he isn't too crazy about vegetables.

I made this for a potluck and got a request for the recipe.

The topping is what makes this so good...most of the time I double the topping for it.

I cheated and bought frozen squash. Two packages thawed and viola! My whole family LOVES it! I want to make it all the time, but I keep it for special occassions just to make it more of a treat!

I made this recipe for the first time on Thanksgiving. That was about 23 years ago. Ive been requested to bring this every year since on Thanksgiving. Even the kids like it. I double the batch, cooking it longer because it is thicker in the casserole dish, and never have any leftovers. The dish is always empty when it it time for cleanup.

This recipe tastes delicious. I took it to a potluck dinner and everyone said it ought to have been placed on the dessert table. This side dish is so sweet it hardly counts as eating a vegetable. I skipped the pecans. I used a 9x13, which of course made this recipe look like hardly anything in the dish. I would make this again, but I will look first for a recipe with less sugar.
