I first prepared this side dish in my high school home economics class. The cool sour cream sauce makes it irresistible, even to those people who usually don't care for squash. —Karen Peterson-Johnson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Just learned this week the easy way to peel butternut squash--make several cuts into the whole squash just through the peeling, cook on high in microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, cool till can handle, peels sooo very easily. Can finish cooking afterwards to desired doneness. I wish I had known this years ago.

My husband and I love this dish. I'll be making it often and especially for company. It tastes wonderful and is so pretty.

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2010 by AdeleDegnan

Just OK. There are plenty of other recipes to try. I probably won't make this one again.

This is a hit every time I make it! If you're looking for something different to do with butternut squash, try this. You don't need to change a thing.
