Hungry Girl Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups butternut squash, cubed
• 2 wedges Laughing Cow light swiss cheese, room temperature
• 3/4 cup onions, diced
• 1/4 cup fat free egg substitute ( like Egg Beaters Original)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place squash in large microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave for 6 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain water. Set aside.

Place onions in a small microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain any excess water. Set aside.
Place squash and all other ingredients except for the onions in a blender. (Make sure squash cubes are not still piping hot.) Pulse until thoroughly mixed (but not liquefied). Remove blender from the base, and then stir in the onions.

Transfer squash mixture to a small casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Place in the oven, and bake for 35 - 40 minutes (until edges begin to brown). Then serve with a spoon as you would mashed potatoes! Enjoy!
