    Delicious!! I went a little heavy on the chili powder and added a bit of cayenne too so it had quite a kick but I absolutely loved it! And so did my seven year old who thinks he hates squash, onions and tomatoes!! - 8/10/11

    I made this last night and i will never make it again. It was lousy. The green beans ruined it! I tasted as i was making it and i felt it needed more pizzaz...like more garlice, more spices, was pretty bland and the beans gave it a real pasty bland taste. Needs serious doctoring and spicing. - 6/13/13

    I make sauce like this most of the time. I love my sauce chunky. Most squash will work well. If I don't have squash I use cucumbers. Some times I add mushrooms. - 3/2/09
