A comforting squash casserole with a satisfyingly crunchy topping, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, boil the cubed squash until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. While the squash is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the drained squash. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Transfer the squash mixture to a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the squash mixture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the breadcrumb topping.
  • Feel free to substitute other types of winter squash for butternut squash.
  • A sprinkle of paprika on top before baking adds a nice color and flavor.
