Notes Butternut Squash Casserole Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
If you want to start with a raw squash, microwave it for a few minutes and then cut it in half and scoop it out. Cut it up and boil for about 15 minutes. Drain, peel, and mash. (Using a cheese slicer works great for peeling safely!) Otherwise, you can use pre-prepared squash.
In a 9x13 inch casserole dish, combine 3 cups mashed butternut squash, white sugar, milk, vanilla extract, salt, flour, eggs and 1/4 cup melted margarine.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until set.
In a medium bowl combine crushed vanilla wafers, 1/2 cup melted margarine and brown sugar. Crumble over top of cooked casserole and return to oven to brown.
Notes
Alternately, you can prep the squash by cutting it into 4 pieces (cut the top off above the "belly"; then, slice each piece in halves), remove seeds with an ice-cream scooper, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool; it will now be super easy to remove from the skin and ready to go in your casserole!

This was ridiculously good! My kids have always begrudgingly eaten squash (of all kinds). Not this, though. It's going on the Christmas menu this year. I think I am also going to try it as a pie, too!

No, seriously. You won't ever want to make sweet potatoes again after trying this dish instead! Join the happy party of converts, and try it! [I posted this recipe.]
