Butternut Squash Quinoa Casserole

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I have made this several times over the past year. I first time I followed the recipe as written. then, one day I was making it and decided to change it by spicing it up. I added peppers some spicy and some mild. Also , I added tex-mex flavoring such as chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. you do have to go a little heavy on the flavors because the squash is sweet. if you go this way change the cheese to a Mexican style cheese or cheddar. I love the recipe but I like it better with the changes too. thank-you
