EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

There's no need to chop the onion yourself. Use 1/2 cup frozen chopped onion instead, and you don't have to thaw it first.

For 12 servings, use 6 slices bacon, 2/3 cup chopped onion, 9 cups squash, 3/4 teaspoon fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 4 1/2 cups spinach leaves. Prepare in Dutch oven.

This is one of the best squash recipes I've tried. Although I did have to cook mine for twice as long as stated in the recipe, I'll definitely make it again.

This recipe is absolutely fabulous...it''s easy to make and looks very elegant on a buffet table...I even had "non"-squash guests say they loved it and couldn''t believe it was butternut squash. A definite mainstay for our holiday table.

This is a very tasty treat! I had never cooked with butternut squash before and this is a wonderful recipe to start with. Buy the squash with as much meat on its top end as you can get your hands on because the bottom bulb part is pretty much nothing but seed.
