I read the previous reviews and prepared the recipe according to directions with the exception of spice. My primary comment is that the onion should be "softened" before adding to the mix for baking. I suggest stir-frying the onion until clear prior to mixing with the eggs, cheese, etc. I baked my squash in order avoid fighting the peeling battle. I agree that more crackers are needed to fully cover the casserole, though a whole sleeve might be a matter of taste. Finally, I added 1/2 tsp of curry to add some flavor - which worked out fine in my book. In summary, this is a very good base recipe which can be adjusted to taste.

This was such a delicious and easy recipe. Not to mention super inexpensive! I decided to try this one because my family really needed something new and healthy to try, and this one was a big hit. I ended up using breadcrumbs instead of the crackers and it turned out really well.

Yum - very good. I had a fresh butternut squash but I think I may use the frozen kind next time to save myself a step. It did taste really yummy with the fresh squash though (which I cooked in the microwave for about 8 minutes). I also sauteed the onions first, as people suggested. This is a keeper!

I didn't tell anyone what this was made of, I just said it's a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes and everyone loved it so much! When I said it was called butternut squash, my boyfriend's son, who is 12, was on his third helping and he said he was glad I didn't tell him the name before he ate it or might not have loved it so much! I added the poultry seasoning as suggested by previous reviewers, but I did not saute the onions, and it still turned out excellent. I added more butter crackers than it called for and covered the glass baking dish with foil. I removed the foil at the end and baked for an additional 5-10 minutes until it browned the crackers a little. I will be making this again for sure!

Based on the previous review, I tried to figure out what spice would complement this dish and I settled on 1 tsp. of poultry seasoning (which I've been addicted to since I found Carol's Chicken Salad on this site). It seemed to be a pretty good choice. I agree the texture was a nice upgrade from the usual mush and I really enjoyed the topping (I put a sheet of tin foil loosely on top for some of the time to keep it from getting past golden.)

This was excellent! My family loved it. I baked my squash instead of boiling it. Also, I agree with other reviewers about sauteeing the onions before mixing it in the squash.

This was Excellent!! My husband is a very picky veggie eater and he LOVED this, so did my 3 yr. old son. I did sautee the onion to soften it before adding to the mixture, otherwise I follwed the recipe exactly. Thanks for a great way to serve squash.

I absolutely loved it... the texture was wonderful and it was very easy to make. Would be perfect for a holiday buffet... I thought the taste was fine... not bland as some as said... perhaps I might try adding some brown sugar to the Ritz Cracker topping next time just to check it out... Thanks for a nice recipe..

This recipe was okay, but not something i would make again. I personally like the butternut squash in the sweeter recipes. But, it was by no means "yucky", just not a keeper.

Hard to peel but very good; sweet I'd say but not too. I used one that was probably 10 inches by 5 inches at the base. I also used an entire sleeve of Ritz Crackers which I crushed and blended in about 2 tblspns of butter with a fork. I used almost all of it to make the topping. My husband and 8 yr old picky eater liked it a lot.
