    This recipe is delicious! The blend of the squash, kale, and sausage is amazing! I added more shredded cheese on the last 10 minutes of baking and it made it even more fabulous! One of the reviews said to be careful not to overcook the squash before it goes into the baking dish and I agree. It gets even softer while baking, so just get it slightly soft before adding it. This one is a winner folks :

    Just made this for the first time tonight. It's incredible! We made it in preparation for Thanksgiving to test it out and we're so glad we did! This is very much a keeper! Can't wait for everyone to try it at Thanksgiving!

    I have made this recipe several times throughout the year, especially when I want my family to eat kale. The combination of kale with sweet butternut squash is delightful. I oftentimes substitute turkey sausage. I've substituted the Hawaiian sweet bread when I can't find onion focaccia. It's still a big hit!

    I get together with the same group every year for Thanksgiving and every year for the last 4 years I have been asked to make Dressing. I love to do it but never really feel like it's something that can really show off my cooking capabilities. As the youngest contributor of the group (I'm 25 I do feel the need to impress with my food sometimes. I made this recipe this year and it was the absolute, hands-down favorite this year! Everyone was ranting and raving about how good it was! I did all my prep work for it the night before and found that since I was doubling the recipe I had to follow my instincts on some things, for instance, doubling the focaccia would have been too much so I did slightly less. I just followed what looked right to me. I will absolutely make this again in the future, it was so wonderful and even survived a 3 hour car ride! :

    I made this dressing in addition to another, as a couple of my family members have food allergies. They told me not to fuss for their sake, but boy are they glad I did! They raved and raved, asked for the recipe, and altogether made me feel pretty good. Not bad for a first-time Thanksgiving cook!

    I was adding Pork Roast (Giada's recipe for Honey-Mustard with Bacon to this year's T-day feast , so though I would also change up the stuffing. My daughter recently became a vegetarian, so decided to make one batch as written and one eliminating the sausage and substituting veggie broth for the chicken for our feast for 11 people. The veggie version was even better than the original. Even though we all love Italian sausage on pizza and in spaghetti sauce, the fennel was a bit much for this dish. Had to substitute vegetable focaccia from Whole Foods for the Onion (none to be found in Columbus, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. The only caution is to truly cook the leek squash mixture only until the leek is soft. I over cooked the first batch and the squash didn't keep as nice a look and texture as I would have liked. Will likely make it again, but maybe not for Thanksgiving1

    I loved the fact that this dish has such added nutritional value. I substituted EVO in place of some of the butter, and it is delicious and pretty. Next time I will omit the cheese on top I don't think it really needed it...

    The bread is the stale onion focaccia. Made this as a test for this Thanksgiving last weekend, and I found the butternut squash to be a wonderful addition of flavors and although the top was crusty, the inside was gloriously moist! Also, no kale available, so used spinach...terriif substitution!

    What kind of bread I need to use with this recipe and what mixture is it I could not find in any part where it talked about the bread mixture except at the end where it says to add everything together. If someone can write back and let me know. mely_yvonne@yahoo.com

    Even people that don't like stuffing or anything "orange" aka squash LOVED THIS! It was delicious and I look forward to making it year after year!
