Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a shallow 9x13-inch casserole dish or similar 3-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the filling in two batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add half of the butternut squash, ½ tablespoon of the rosemary, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the squash is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. The squash will still be too firm to eat.
- Next, add half of the kale, half of the onions, and half of the garlic. Cook until the kale and onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Add the 1/2 cup of the chicken stock, stir, and let cook 1 minute so that the stock reduces slightly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and with a spoon, prod it into a relatively even layer.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in the skillet, then repeat the above steps with the remaining half of each of the ingredients. Transfer the rest of the filling to the casserole dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the squash is soft when pierced with a sharp knife.
- While the squash bakes, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, sage, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the top. Stir to combine.
- Remove the casserole from the oven, remove the foil, then sprinkle the top evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, return the dish to the oven, then bake uncovered, until the bread crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

CHILEAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE
This delicious casserole has become a tradition at my family's Thanksgiving. And everyone agrees we should make it more often, it's so good, and not hard to make. I've changed this recipe only slightly from the Chilean Squash in the Moosewood Cookbook. You can substitute mashed pumpkin or yams (unsweetened, of course!), but the butternut is best and worth the effort. A tip for easier clean up: I just mash the squash right in the casserole and mix everything there. I wipe off the upper sides wih a clean, damp dish towel and pop it in the oven. I've been tempted to add a cup or two of cooked rice or other grain to make it even more hardy, but I haven't tried that yet... Note: cook time does not include time for baking the squash; that can be done ahead and refrigerated.

Tips:
- Butternut squash should be roasted until tender and caramelized. This will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. - Use a variety of cheeses to create a rich and flavorful casserole. A combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as Gruyere, Fontina, or Gouda. - For a crispy topping, use panko breadcrumbs or crushed crackers. You can also add a sprinkling of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for extra texture and flavor. - If you want a vegetarian casserole, you can omit the bacon. You can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. - Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a side salad or roasted vegetables.Conclusion:
