BEST EVER SQUASH CASSEROLE
This is the best squash casserole recipe I've ever made. The corn bread flavor in it makes it just incredible. Its time consuming so I don't make it all that often but its worth doing at least once a month!

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.

BJ'S SQUASH CASSEROLE
My mother loves this as well as I do. We ate this in a resturant and I kept searching ingredients until I came up with a similar recipe. It's good comfort food & I will be making this for our "Thanksgiving Dinner".

Steps:
- Cook squash until tender, saute onion in sm. amt. of butter, then mix all ingredients together. Top with the four cheese (mexican blend). Bake @ 350 degree oven for 30 min. or until bubbly & brown.
- ** Just made a good recipe better....saute onion in (1/2) stick of butter & try using (1/2) box of chicken stove top stuffing. I also used the 2lb bag of Pic Sweet frozen squash or you can use fresh. I like more squash in my recipe.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut butternut squash or frozen butternut squash cubes.
- If you don't have a large casserole dish, you can use two smaller dishes.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350°F oven for 30-45 minutes, or until heated through.
- For a vegetarian version of the casserole, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- To add a little extra flavor to the casserole, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The butternut squash is roasted until tender and then combined with a creamy sauce, savory bacon, and crunchy pecans. The casserole is then baked until bubbly and golden brown. Serve it with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
