Butternut Squash Gratin With Rosemary Breadcrumbs image

I started making this recipe in 2000, when it first appeared in Bon Apetit Magazine. My family claims they won't let me come to Thanksgiving dinner unless I bring this with me! It is easy to make ahead and everyone is sure to love it.

1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 cups thinly sliced onions (about 1 pound)
2 1/2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs (made from soft white bread)
2 cups packed grated sharp white cheddar cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

Add squash; sauté 4 minutes. Sprinkle sugar, salt and pepper over vegetables; sauté until onions and squash begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
