Butternut Squash Casserole

Butternut Squash Casserole Recipe

Adapted from Paula Deen. I only used one large butternut squash which seemed more than enough, so I can only assume the original recipe used smaller squashes. Instead of raisins and sweetened coconut, I used cranberries and unsweetened coconut flakes. I preferred the butternut squash casserole without the cranberries and coconut flakes, although they do make it look more festive. Stir in a little maple syrup if you want a bit of sweetness to this savory casserole.
