This is definitely titled correctly! I tagged this in Please Review and used butternut squash (with chef's permission). Instead of boiling, I steamed in 2 batches in the microwave and mashed 1 batch. Used regular cheddar cheese, low-fat sour cream, grated Parm., 1 leek and brown rice. I think the bread crumbs would be better on top of the dish instead of in it, since you're broiling it anyways. Yummy!
