AUTUMN SQUASH CASSEROLE



Autumn Squash Casserole image

This has become a must-have at Thanksgiving. It's so good it tastes like it could be dessert! Even people who don't usually like squash change their mind after trying this. It's a delicious blend of different tastes and textures. I use buttercup squash, but acorn squash can also be used; Jonathan, Rome or other dry apples work best. It can also be made a day ahead of time--just add the cornflake topping and bake the next day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right game meat: For this recipe, you can use venison, elk, moose, or wild boar. Venison is the most common type of game meat used in casseroles, and it has a mild flavor that pairs well with other ingredients.
  • Tenderize the meat: Game meat can be tough, so it's important to tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by marinating the meat in a mixture of wine, vinegar, and herbs, or by using a meat tenderizer.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, potatoes, or green beans.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Game meat can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the meat until it's just tender, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This casserole can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Autumn game casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that's perfect for a cold fall day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy game meat, give this casserole a try.
