"This dish reminded me of pumpkin pie!! The topping is a pleasant addition to a tasty dish!!"
"Much too sweet and too time consuming to make. Just didn't like it unfortunately."
"I made this casserole as a side for my Easter ham dinner.
I was skeptical about a few things right after reading the ingredients and instructions. I decided I would adjust the recipe before making it the first time.From experience in making yam/sweet potato casseroles for many years, I knew the squash should be cooked and mashed the day before to allow for extra draining time. They hold a lot of water. I had to drain again in the morning before continuing the steps.I completely omitted the milk, it would have been too runny.The three pounds of squash barely fed 6 adults as a side dish.It was very sweet . I will make it again , but next time with at least one more pound of squash and less sugar.Also, I didn't cover it while baking. I felt it would produce too much steam and cause it to be too runny.It did make an appealing looking dish. Everyone asked, "what is that"?It had a great flavor and texture.""This was not what I expected. No one cared for it. It was to mushy. Came home and looked up other versions of what is suppose to be like Kenny Roger's Roasters casserole and noticed this one asks for 3 pounds of squash. Others 3 cups. Could it be this one has a typing error? Just to much squash and mushy."
"great comfort dish!"
"This is now a 'must have' recipe at our Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners!"
"Love this casserole - have also substituted crushed gingersnaps for the vanilla wafers - my family enjoys both ways."
"This was a hit last year for Thanksgiving. I thought I lost the recipe. I will be making it this year!!"
"This is the best recipe, and I've made it for work pot locks and family Thanksgiving dinners. It tastes so close to pumpkin pie you'll be tempted to use whipped cream with it. Love it Love it."
