Delicious. I didn't need as much of the butter. Thanks!

This is delightful as it is, and we all so appreciate your sharing this recipe. . .an even sweeter variation is to add a quick, complete turn or two of your black pepper grinder, add a pinch of cinnamon amd nutmeg, mixed with maybe a 1/4c+/- of brown sugar and sprinkle the sugar mixed with the spices over the top and bake. . .NUMmmmmyyyyy??

Made this to go with dinner last night and it was easy to make. I bought butternut squash that was already peeled and cubed and that saved some time. The flavors, great fall taste. Wondering how it would be with some sweet onions added
