    My mom has been making this for years! The squash is nice and smooth, and the crunchy topping is perfect. This packs a lot of flavor and makes a ton!

    This recipe was a huge hit with my in-laws and friends this Thanksgiving. My mom has been making this for years, and when I was little I couldn't stand it.

    Last year, I decided that I wanted to try to make it myself and see if I liked it now that I'm all grown up, and I have to say WOW! It's awesome!

    The squash is nice and smooth, and the crunchy topping is perfect. This packs a lot of flavor and makes a ton!

    Description

    My mom has been making this for years! The squash is nice and smooth, and the crunchy topping is perfect. This packs a lot of flavor and makes a ton!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 cups cubed butternut squash
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 can cream of chicken soup
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 (8-ounce) package herb-seasoned stuffing

    Instructions

    1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Once the water is boiling, add squash and cook until soft.
    3. Drain well, then mash with a fork.
    4. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add squash, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir well to combine.
    5. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large bowl. Add the stuffing and mix well.
    6. Add ⅔ of the stuffing mixture to the squash mixture and stir to combine. Spread into a 9x13-inch baking dish, then top with the remaining ⅓ of the stuffing mixture.
    7. Add to mixture, reserving ⅓ of stuffing; top with remaining stuffing.
    8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.


    Notes

    The stuffing is often sold in 16-ounce packages - just use half of it and save the other half (or make two casseroles!).
