Looking for a unique squash recipe with a ton of flavor?

Then you’ve got to try it this way – squash with bourbon, butter, brown sugar, and topped with pecans.

My family typically sticks to traditional Thanksgiving recipes. But each year I introduce one new dish, or spin on an old dish.

This year they’re in for a treat: bourbon-pecan squash.

There’s something about this flavor combination that just works. This unique take on squash is the perfect punchy addition to an otherwise traditional Thanksgiving menu.

The texture is smooth and almost pudding-like. The pecans add a nice contrasting crunch.

Overall, it’s a very affordable recipe. There’s no need to blow your Thanksgiving food budget on one side dish!
