DELTA CAFE COPYCAT SQUASH CASSEROLE
I make no claim to originality on this recipe-you can get the original anywhere on the Internet. However, 1) I tweaked it to get it more like the way it tastes at the café (to me...), and 2) I always come to food.com for my recipes for storage, and this one is not on it so I always end up hunting it down somewhere else. Apologies to the original, but gotta have my squash casserole!!!

Steps:
- Cut off tips of squash. Slice the squash into thin rounds, to cook quicker. Cook in boiling water, about 10 minutes. Drain in colander. Split the squash, using one half for the mixure and the other half for mashing. Mash the second half with hand masher, leaving small chunks visible.
- Take first half, mash with mixer until small. Mix with bread crumbs, one stick butter, sugar, salt, pepper and beat until thoroughly mixed. (Will be fairly smooth). Then mix in onions with mixer.
- Mix by hand the second half of mashed squash with the mixed half. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Smooth and cover with a light layer of bread crumbs.
- Can melt the last half stick of butter and mix with crumbs if desired because the crumbs don't brown nicely. (I also have "broiled" the top brown at the end of cooking and poured the butter over it to help.).
- Bake at 350 degrees until browned, usually about an hour.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Acorn squash, butternut squash, and kabocha squash are all good choices for baking. Look for squash that is heavy for its size and has a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Prepare the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can also peel the squash, but this is not necessary. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the squash: Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet. Roast the squash in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
- Stuff the squash: Once the squash is roasted, you can stuff it with a variety of fillings. Some popular fillings include cooked rice, beans, vegetables, and meat. You can also add cheese, nuts, and seeds to the filling.
- Bake the stuffed squash: Once the squash is stuffed, place it back in the oven and bake it for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through.
Conclusion:
Baked squash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables and can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different ways to prepare it, there is sure to be a baked squash recipe that everyone will enjoy.
