Streuseled Squash Casserole
No, not abra-cadabra. Not pretty please with a cherry on top. Three little (well, more like medium-sized) words with the power to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary... Cinnamon. Streusel. Topping. More specifically, cinnamon streusel topping resting upon a tub o' pulverized butternut squash. Even if you don't particularly like butternut squash, I think chances are good that you'll enjoy this casserole. The puree itself becomes slightly fruity and quite sweet, and the topping just takes it above and beyond. Obviously. I debated attempting this casserole for awhile. The idea stemmed from my undying love of sweet potato casserole, so the recipes are similar. Although replacing the sweet potaters with butternut squash made for an impressively tasty dish and I'm very proud of my creation, I'd still pick the original in a nanosecond
