So delicious on a cold New England night! I happen to have some brown rice which I chose to serve it over. I will definitely be making this again!

Really good winter - snow on the ground- recipe. I did add 2 more garlic cloves and baked it for 2 hours @325 adding the squash about 45 min before the end. Enjoyed by all!
