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

I put less than a 1/2 c. brown sugar in it and 1 tsp. cinnamon. as we like that taste better. I tried to many new dishes this yr. my fault so it was hard to get a honest answer. There weren't any nay's! I thought it might end up to runny, but that turned out gr8!

I was looking for a different recipe for butternut squash and I came across this one. It was a BIG hit with the kids and my dad for Thanksgiving....will be making this again!!!

Make this for every thanksgiving. It is a gret hit every year. I double the topping and use 2 pkgs. of frozen squash. It is now a tradition.

Wonderful recipe! I made it for our family reunion and there wasn't a drop left! I had several requests for the recipe. I made a couple changes: added pumpkin pie spice to both the squash and topping and left out the coconut. It was requested that I make it for Thanksgiving, too. I can see this being a regular dish for us, because even my picky 7 year old asked for seconds!

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.
