Nothing screams fall like a side dish of squash (at least that is what our Mom thinks)! This is one squash recipe my whole family will eat. I am sure the brown sugar and butter have a little to do with that, but at least there is some squash in there, too!

This is the only way my husband will eat any squash. It also brings back childhood memories, as my mother made it like this often. Sooooooo delicious. I added a dash of cinnamon as well 😁. Think next time I’ll try apple pie spice 👍
