SQUASH CASSEROLE
Squash casserole is about as Southern as it gets. You can serve it piping hot or warm, the day you make it or the next. It's up to you-but I think it's best if you just grab a spoon and dig in.

Steps:
- For the leek crema: Using only the lower third of the leek, remove the root, cut lengthwise down, then dice. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook, steaming the leeks until very tender, about 5 minutes.
- While the leeks are steaming, slice the squash lengthwise to ¼-inch thick slices on a mandoline or with a knife, and set aside. Finish the leek crema by adding salt, then cream, and warm through.
- For the squash casserole: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9" x 9" or 8" x 10" casserole dish with the butter by rubbing it as if you were waxing a car. Arrange the squash in a single layer in the dish. It's all right if you shingle and overlap edges minimally. This is a six-layer casserole, so allocate the ingredients accordingly. Evenly coat the first level of squash with a ladle of crema, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a bit of thyme, a sixth of the breadcrumbs, and a sixth of the Parmigiano. Repeat these steps 5 more times, then cover the casserole with a fitted lid or foil. Bake covered for 35 minutes, then uncovered for 10 more minutes or until the top becomes nice and golden brown.
- Remove casserole from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips for Making Applesauce and Squash Casserole:
- Choose the right type of squash. For a sweeter casserole, use butternut squash or pumpkin. For a more savory dish, try acorn squash or delicata squash. - Roast the squash before adding it to the casserole. This will help to concentrate its flavor and make it sweeter. - Don't overcook the applesauce. You want it to be thick and flavorful, but not mushy. - Use a combination of spices to flavor the casserole. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all good choices. - Top the casserole with a streusel topping or a pecan crumble. This will add a crunchy texture and extra flavor. - Serve the casserole warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. ###Conclusion:
Applesauce and squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. With its sweet and savory flavors, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful dish, give this applesauce and squash casserole a try.
