Golden Butternut Squash Casserole

By á-6693

Creamy and crunchy - this dish is a family favorite that always has everyone scraping the dish for more. The crunchy-sweet topping is optional, but I usually add it when guests are joining us.

Ingredients

• Casserole:
• 2/3 cup butter, softened = 5 1/3 Tbsp.
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 can (10 oz.) evaporated milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 pounds butternut squash, cooked & mashed = 4 cups
• Topping:
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 4 Tbsp. butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together.

2. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla.

3. Stir in squash - the mixture will be thin.

4. Pour into a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until almost set.

5. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over casserole. Return dish to oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until bubbly.
