Tips:

- Butternut squash should be firm and heavy for its size, with no blemishes or soft spots. - For a creamier casserole, use more cream or milk. - Add a cup of grated cheddar cheese for a cheesy casserole. - Top the casserole with toasted pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch. - For a vegan casserole, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of dairy milk, and omit the butter. - If you don't have time to roast the butternut squash, you can use pre-cooked squash from the grocery store. - Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
