Butternut Squash Gratin image

Squash finds its way into many of my recipes, but my favorite is butternut because I love the richness and sweetness it adds to a dish. After sharing it with my sisters, they now all make this side for all their Thanksgiving dinners. -Cheryl Lundquist, Wake Forest, North Carolina

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.

This gratin is the perfect fall comfort food. It's warm, cheesy, and flavorful. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread.

This gratin was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different cheese. I used cheddar, but I think a Gruyère or Parmesan would be better.

I'm not a big fan of squash normally, but this gratin was surprisingly good. The cheese sauce really helped to balance out the flavor of the squash, and the overall dish was very creamy and comforting.

This gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some extra spices or herbs to give it more flavor.
