    I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and thought it was ok. Too much of the mushy texture for me but I really liked the flavor. I made it again last week and cooked some breakfast sausage, scooped out the squash and mixed the sausage in it and it turned out awesome! Even my husband, who is NOT a squash person, loved it.

    Delicious and easy. Added a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice which really added some flavor.

    This is a great recipe! I love how festive it is- perfect for the fall! I didn't use the maple syrup because I was afraid it would be too sweet... it turned out great with just the brown sugar and butter! I cooked my squash in a small amount of water after reading comments.. the squash turned out perfectly and equally cooked.

    I usually only use either maple syrup or brown sugar, and most importantly, add a little cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg (the spices bring out the flavor of the squash.

    This recipe was delicious but next time either just use the maple syrup or brown sugar. I'm wondering if baking a butternut squash the same way but longer (since it is bigger would also be good. Did anyone try this? My favorite is butternut squash while my husband loves the acorn squash.

    I baked it way over an hour and it still wasn't tender. Finally I took it out after an hour and 1/2 and tasted it. Didn't like the texture or flavor of the squash. I didn't want to serve this to my family, so I threw it out. I did like the buttery/sugary sauce though. I would try it on yams or sweet potatoes.
