Butternut Squash, Sage and Mushroom Casserole

"This is a Weight Watchers CORE recipe, adapted from the Weight Watchers website AND is vegetarian! (Can probably be made vegan if you sub the condensed skim milk with soy). There are quite a few steps to this, BUT in the end I think it tastes great. The earthy mushrooms and sage are a perfect match to the sweet and buttery squash. Sage is strong so I have 1-2 tbsp listed in the ingredients. Please use your own taste, as the original recipe called for only 1 tbsp. We like sage allot, so I would in fact increase the fresh sage to 2 tbsp when I make this again."
