I like to roast chunks in the oven, then mash on my plate with some butter, splenda and cinnamon.
I love making squash soup - my recipe has an apple and chopped crystallized ginger in it. My friend makes hers with bacon.
I haven't tried it yet in beef stew, but I was just given 4 squash yesterday - time to give squashy stew a try!
And if you really WANT to like it, keep trying it. I learned to like asparagus as an adult after eating it many times. I wanted to like it, so I just kept trying it. Definitely try the squash with other flavors, and different flavors each time - it should work!
