The two adults really enjoyed this, the three kids weren't so wild about it, but ate it with the temptation of jello for dessert. I did two things differently: I added some chopped apple to the onion and celery mixture and after I uncovered the squash & ham to finish baking (the final 15 min.) I sprinkled on some buttered bread crumbs to give it more kid appeal. I would definitely make this again. . . but plan it just for DH and myself.
