Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab a 7x11-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing to prevent sticking. This will ensure your casserole comes out beautifully.
Step 2
Next, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Toss in the butternut squash cubes and let them simmer on low heat for about 3 minutes, just until they start to soften. Once done, drain the squash and set it aside to cool a bit.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, shredded carrots, and finely chopped onion. Stir everything together until it's well mixed and creamy. Now, gently fold in 2 cups of the herb-seasoned dry stuffing mix along with the softened squash, ensuring every piece is coated in that delicious mixture.
Step 4
Transfer this vibrant mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. For a delightful crunch on top, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of stuffing mix over the casserole.
Step 5
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the squash is tender. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
