I love autumn, when butternut squash is at its peak. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare it. The squash is tender, and the creamy pecan filling is fabulous. -Sheryl Little, Sherwood, Arkansas

This recipe was a disaster! The squash was hard and the pecan stuffing was dry. I won't be making this again.

The squash was a bit undercooked for my taste, but the pecan stuffing was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the squash for a few extra minutes next time.
