so, I made it. Didn't have any pecan meal so I used almond meal instead. I love it <3

This is actually what we had for our Thanksgiving dinner, since it was just the two of us this year. Astonishingly good!

Sounds YUMMY!!!! Now, too bad, I didn't cook the turkey this year and we don't have any leftovers. " )

I am making this the day after Thanksgiving. Just replace your chicken with turkey and you will have a great leftovers casserole!

I debated only putting 1 tbsp of maple syrup, surely you could do that. Isn't great that we find the food alone to be sweet enough! Love it! :)

Made this for dinner tonight and my husband loved it (I did too)! I was short on the butternut squash so I filled in with sweet potato. So simple to make and most of the clean up was done while it was baking so a short clean up after dinner.

I made this last night with just a drizzle of maple syrup and a dash of thyme and loved it but my son thought it was too sweet so I will make it without any maple syrup next time - such s great, simple fall recipe - Yum - can't wait for the leftovers for lunch!

Still have half of a butternut from my recipe the other night to try this... AND, I'm thinking it would be a great way to use some leftover turkey after Thanksgiving!
