Butternut Squash Casserole

Submitted by Chef Kiddle

"I got this from a magazine. I made it, loved it, and ate the whole pan by myself! (In 4 days. HA!) (My husband doesn't like squash.) I will definitely be making this for Thanksgiving for myself!"

This was delicious! I made it with brown sugar instead of regular sugar, and after baking added a topping from another Butternut Squash Recipe, which was a mix of vanilla wafer crumbs, brown sugar, and butter and baked uncovered for an additional 12 minutes. This was the first time I have tried butternut squash, and I really enjoyed it. It was similar in taste to sweet potatoes with a silkier texture. Thank you for posting, this will go in my "keeper" file!

Very easy and very good, but unappealing color. I used frozen squash - 20 oz bag. Very sweet - several people commented it was like dessert! Also added slightly less then an 1/8 of Allspice.

This was very good, but I could only eat it about once every couple of months. It is very sweet, it would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner.
