I've made it three times this holiday season! I now buy the squash already cubed- cuts time and frustration of dealing with raw, tough butternut squash. Tastes better the day after you make it! A big hit with everyone.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I was eager to try it because a) it sounded yummy b) I didn't have to worry about oven space before serving it. And, it was a success. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be making this a staple in our Thanksgiving day meal.
