this was very easy and very delicious. before this recipe, i didn't even know if i would like squash. I love this!! I plan to make it again this week! I like simple things with not a lot of spices, I cut back on some of the butter used, and used garlic salt instead of garlic powder. a favorite! - 2/10/09

What a great idea--especially if you're only using yellow crookneck squash! Thanks for the feedback!

This recipe was pretty good. I would definitely add a few more spices and less onion the next time. - 7/23/08

Thanks for trying this. This is one of my comfort foods, I LOVE onions, so mine S&O tends to be filled with them.
What spices would you suggest?
