I first saw this recipe on Hungry Girl too. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Def. dry the squash well. I also added some salt free spicy seasoning for an added kick. I prepped everything early in the day and let it sit in the fridge until I was ready to cook. Even my DH thought these were great!!!

I had a little trouble with the logistics of this recipe. It is not clear how to get the butternut squash to shred. I ended up cooking it until tender, at which point it was certainly not "shredable," although soft enough to remove from the shell. I cooked as directed from that point, but might as well have made a casserole, as they did not brown well either. Surprisingly, they were okay with the catsup, but ended up being an awful lot of trouble for an average result. I had high hopes that this was going to be a way to get DH to eat squash, but no luck here!

Hello, all! Thanks to all the great recipes and tips from the community here at Recipezaar, I think I'm finally getting this whole cooking thing down!
FYI: When I review recipes, I take into account that I have to alter recipes so my BF will actually eat it - no mushrooms and no peppers! I realize this alters the taste slightly, but there's not much I can do about it if I don't want him to go on a hunger strike! I also try to use low fat and/or low cal alteratives. Gotta watch that waistline! :)
I always try to give a kind, thoughtful review, even if the recipe didn't work out for me.
