Butternut Squash Bake image

If I ask our two girls (ages 7 and 14) what to fix for a special meal, this dish is always requested. I discovered this slightly sweet and crunchy-topped casserole at a church dinner about 10 years ago, and now I take it to potluck dinners and come home with an empty dish! -Julie Jahn, Decatur, Indiana

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and delicious.

This recipe is a keeper! The butternut squash was perfectly cooked and the combination of flavors was divine. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping.
