Five stars for easy and for flavor. The directions I think need to be adjusted for those NON cooks. First, peel the squash or not. I didn't, and wouldn't but my friend who was cooking me thought you should, she is a non cook. Second, why would you steam garlic. I simply pan sauteed the squash, onion and garlic on medium heat with just a little butter to soften. Same result. Third, mention the type of cheese or suggest one. I used a mix of monterey jack and cheddar, but there are many options which can really change the final flavor of the dish. Fourth, Onion ... how much, what size, 1/2 could be golf ball size to softball. I used a medium sized onion, but you may want to mention that Last ... Natures Seasoning? I know what you meant but many people don't. An all purpose or Ms. Dash or something similar. Try to give some alternatives for people to use. I also added additional salt and pepper. But I really enjoyed the flavor, as I am a big squash fan. It was very tasty and unique which I enjoyed. Again, loved the dish, but the recipe for a non cook I think needs to be more detailed. Thx for sharing

This was a delish low-carb side dish! My whole family enjoyed it. I added diced green chiles for an extra kick, it was fantastic!

this recipe is fantastic.I sautee the onion and squash in an iorn skillet, with melted coconut oil. browns nicely. and sprinkle with real bacon bits. and sesason with "goya ham seasoning pack"
then transfer to baking dish. mix the other ing. and pour on top, then bake. a big suggestion for low carb cooks, use a product called "vegenaise" instead of mayonaise. the taste is the absolute best flavor and makes all the difference. also a very healthy product. enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
