Mom's Butternut Squash Casserole

Here's a smart cooking contender for the Christmas dinner table. I know it's early to be thinking about Christmas, but I so love our family gathering at Christmas, and this is such a good and healthy vegetable. It would be the perfect addition to our holiday meal. My mouth is still tingling with happy delight. Boy, it's good, good and more good.

In fact, I could have made this dish full of flavor for Easter. It would have fit right in. It's a festive, delicious and nice looking dish.

It's so good. Why wait for a holiday? Give this recipe a make and bake.

Mom's Butternut Squash Casserole

Ingredients:
3 bags of prepared and cubed butternut squash
1 onion, chopped
3 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly spray a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with PAM.

In a large pan or deep skillet, combine squash and onion; add water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until squash is tender. Drain well.

Spoon squash mixture into a large mixing bowl, and set aside for a moment.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Add to squash mixture.

Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour or spoon into lightly sprayed casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with raisins and coconut.

Marketside is a brand you can find at the Walmart Supercenter. Delicious and inexpensive, too.
