A+ Butternut & Acorn Squash Gratin image

Beautiful tasting, company-ready winter squash casserole dish that was served to me by my daughter at her Bunco party. She said it came from a handout at Raley's Deli Dept. All the women there raved about the recipe and it even upstaged the pumpkin raviolis she made. It would be quite impressive on a Thanksgiving or Christmas table or to take to a potluck. Enjoy!

This recipe was a disaster! The gratin never set, and it tasted terrible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gratin turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked the squash.

I made this dish exactly as written, and it was perfect! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more cheese to the top.

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but this dish was amazing! The sweetness of the squash paired perfectly with the savory cheese and spices. I will definitely be making this again.
