Even my pickiest kiddo loved this! Super easy too - just mix and simmer.

I enjoyed this recipe quite a bit despite all the canned ingredients. Fresh mushrooms would be much better (saute them with the onion). The name "Mexican" squash is a little misleading, it has green chiles in it which I'm not sure qualifies it as Mexican food, but it's tasty nonetheless.
