Delta Cafe Copycat Squash Casserole Recipes

ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH

Steps:

• Place squash halves cut side down on a cutting board. Slice into 3/8-inch slices. Transfer slices to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; add salt and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat squash with oil.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Arrange squash pieces in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven until bottom of slices is browned and squash is tender, 12 to 18 minutes.

• 1. Cut tips off squash and cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces. Drop squash and chopped onion into a large saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to boil, reduce heat and cook until tender. Drain well in colander and mash, allowing excess liquid to drain.
• 2. Combine with beaten eggs, 1-cup breadcrumbs, butter, sugar, salt, onion, and pepper. Turn into a greased 3-quart casserole.
• 3. Toss remaining bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

DELTA CAFE COPYCAT SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut off tips of squash. Slice the squash into thin rounds, to cook quicker. Cook in boiling water, about 10 minutes. Drain in colander. Split the squash, using one half for the mixure and the other half for mashing. Mash the second half with hand masher, leaving small chunks visible.
• Take first half, mash with mixer until small. Mix with bread crumbs, one stick butter, sugar, salt, pepper and beat until thoroughly mixed. (Will be fairly smooth). Then mix in onions with mixer.
• Mix by hand the second half of mashed squash with the mixed half. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Smooth and cover with a light layer of bread crumbs.
• Can melt the last half stick of butter and mix with crumbs if desired because the crumbs don't brown nicely. (I also have "broiled" the top brown at the end of cooking and poured the butter over it to help.).
• Bake at 350 degrees until browned, usually about an hour.
