Working full time, I found I didn't always have time to cook the meals my family loved, so I re-created many of those dishes in the slow cooker. This treatment for squash is one of our favorites. -Carol Greco, Centereach, New York

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash. I had some leftover acorn squash from Halloween and this was a delicious way to use it up.

I thought this dish was just okay. The squash was a little bland and the spices didn't really do much for me.
