Have made this multiple times and is now a favorite with my family and friends. I too made a few changes - butter instead of margarine, baked instead of boiled squash and Ritz crackers for topping (gives a nice salty/sweet flavor)!

Tried this on 2/24/12. Did make some modifications but only for convenience. Don't think it affected the results. Following another reviewer's (Tricky835) lead, I cut the squash in half, removed the seeds and baked it (cut side down) until it was soft. Used a potato masher instead of a blender and everything came out just great! Also, I added the cinnamon, nutmeg to the cooked squash. THE surprise of the event was the scrumptiousness of the topping. This will become a regular in our household.

This dish is like a little piece of heaven. We dont really have dessert during the holidays because everyone wants this instead. people will come back for thirds for sure!! I started using this recipe a few years ago. I am thankful i came across it. I had to search and search after my friend made something similar and refused to share her secret! I have made some changes to it like adding extra flour, extra vanilla, and extra vanilla wafers. I acrually crush more wafers really fine and add them into the squash mix. And i load it/layer it with extra wafer topping. Anyways it is a huge hit with my family and friends. Time consuming but the end result makes it worth while for sure! I even have some friends who pay me during the holidays to make large batches of it for their family dinners. :)

We usually do a candied sweet potato casserole at Christmas but I happened to have a butternut squash handy, so I made this recipe. Everyone liked that it was something different, not quite as sweet as the sweet potato... the contrast of the sugar and the squash was really nice. I didn't have vanilla wafers so I ground up some Christmas cookies. :) This is a keeper!

This was easy to make, and everyone loved it. It was a great addition to our Thanksgiving dinner. Putting it in the microwave for about 4 to 5 minutes first made it much easier to peel.

Hubby says this is like pie filling and kids think we're having dessert for dinner! Need I say more? I used 1/2 C sugar, added 1tsp Cinnamon and 1/2tsp Nutmeg for less sweetness, yet still sweet. For the topping, I used what cereal we had on hand: 1 1/2C Cheerios and Raisin Bran (w/o raisins) mixed with 1/4C brown sugar & 1/8C butter.

So delicious! I was skeptical to try this at first - this was also my first time baking with squash. It tastes very similar to sweet potato. I followed the recipe exactly & it came out even better than expected. This is definitely more of a dessert dish, it is very sweet. The only thing I would do differently next time is try to do layers. A layer of squash on bottom, middle layer of brown sugar/cookie mix, another layer of squash & then a top layer of sugar/cookie mix.

I also made a few changes to this. I roasted the squash then scooped it out and put it in the blender with some condensed milk to make it mushy. I only used two egg and cocount flour to make it gluten free. I also added cinnamon to the recipe and didn't put a topping on it. My family loved it they didn't even know it was squash. :)
