Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

WINTER SQUASH CASSEROLE



Winter Squash Casserole image

Years ago, our vegetable garden kept us well-supplied all year long. Dad stored huge piles of potatoes and squash in the coldest part of the basement. In winter the squash was so hard. Mother sometimes used an ax to cut it into small pieces for cooking! Her hard work was worth it, because we really enjoyed this wonderful casserole! -Glendora Hauger, Siren, Wisconsin
