Stir into slow cooker. Cook 30 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened and heated through.Makes 6-8 servings.NOTES: I buy my butternut squash already peeled, seeded and diced at Trader Joe's or any reliable health food store. It's so difficult to cut otherwise! This also saves TONS of time in preparation. I try to buy all my canned items no salt added, or low sodium, and I used brand names like Del Monte & Ortega to formulate nutritional information.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SKINNYSOON13.
