How to Make Cheesy Butternut Squash Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs) into 1-inch chunks.
  3. Boil the squash chunks in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
  4. While the squash cooks, prepare the other ingredients.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine: 1 cup bread stuffing, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1-2 jalapenos, finely chopped (adjust to taste).
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 bouillon cube in 1/4 cup hot water.
  7. Add the bouillon mixture to the large bowl along with the cooked squash (after draining well).
  8. Gently mash the squash slightly, leaving some texture.
  9. Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  11. Top with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
