Leftovers just took a new turn toward fantastic! This recipe is a very good recipe to toss together for a brunch or light dinner using the leftover stuffing/dressing from the Turkey or Pork Loin recipe. Just add another ½ lb of Swaggerty’s Farm Sausage and let the flavor begin!
Butternut Squash Casserole
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 2 to 3 quart baking dish with the softened butter. Sprinkle bread crumbs inside of dish and turn to coat bottom and sides. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl toss together the leftover dressing/stuffing with the cubed squash.
- Pour beaten eggs and cream over the ingredients stir until well combined.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir and scrape mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the casserole comes out clean, but moist.
- Remove from oven.
Notes
The breadcrumbs add a nice crispy outside to the casserole and keeps it from sticking to the dish. You can make them very easily using toasted bread which you have crumbled up or use store-bought breadcrumbs.
A gluten-free version is made using the gluten-free dressing/stuffing from our pork loin recipe.
