I was making squash for the first time and decided to try this one. It came out good and I will definitaly do it again. I did make some chages though, based on what I had at home. <br/><br/>I omited the bacon, to make it vegetarian.<br/>I used canned diced tomatoes (about 3 tbsp),and added drained canned mushrooms because I didnt have fresh on hand. <br/><br/>Next time I make I will make sure I have fresh ingredients on hand. <br/><br/>I also bought small single size foil pans and broke it down into three servings, freezing 2 and cooking one for dinner tonigh.
