Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) box Stove Top stuffing mix
1 large butternut squash (1 family size frozen squash if fresh is not available)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese, and flavorful sausage to ensure the best possible taste.
  • Don't overcook the butternut squash: It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients: You don't want the casserole to be too crowded or the ingredients will not cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the casserole: Overmixing can make the casserole tough.
  • Top the casserole with additional cheese before baking: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

This cheesy sausage and butternut squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy casserole recipe, give this one a try.
