Butternut Squash and Duxelles Casserole image

From the February 2010 "Fab Five" list of Vegetarian Times. (Duxelles is a paste of finely chopped mushrooms and shallots.) This is a wonderful comfort food that is actually fairly low calorie (depending on how much cheese you use).

I had trouble finding duxelles, so I made my own. It was a bit of a pain, but it was worth it.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I love how creamy and cheesy the mashed potato topping is. It pairs perfectly with the savory butternut squash and duxelles filling.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made duxelles mixture to save time, and it still tasted delicious.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The butternut squash and duxelles filling was rich and flavorful, and the mashed potato topping was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.
