This is a hard-to-resist, rib-sticking main dish. We all love it and everyone who tries it wants the recipe. The hardest thing about this recipe is cooking & cutting the squash. We usually leave it whole, poke a few holes in it with a sharp knife and cook it in the microwave then cut it as the squash is so much easier to cut when it's cooked. Read more I don't remember where I found the original recipe. I've changed it up some to fit our tastes. See less
