Introduction

I first got the recipe from a Suzanne Somers site and have altered it a bit. My 3 year old ate almost 6 oz all my himself tonight. This is great as a side dish with meatloaf! I would cut the serving sizes down, though. I calculated it for 4 dinner size portions and we eat it with a salad or small piece of meat like grilled chicken. But you could make six servings and eat it with meat loaf. The nutrition would then be 169.1 cal, 9.2 fat, 9.4 carbs, and 12.5 protein. Yum, either way!

    I love just plain squash but tried this and really didn't think it was worth all the extra calories. I will continue to eat my squash unadorned. - 10/9/19

    Really, I wouldn't have guessed bacon, sour cream, parmesan and regular cheese would go with yams....who knew!

    Incredible!
    Fabulous!! The whole family loved this and have requested it again asap!! The only changes I made were in sauteing the onion and squash in 1 T. olive oil as opposed to boiling it. I also put the shredded cheese on top before baking it instead of mixing it in and I didn't use nutmeg, personal pref. - 10/3/09
