BeBePilgrims Progress Squash CasseroleIngredients (use vegan versions): 3 cups mashed butternut squash
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 stick softened soy margarine
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 tablespoon salt
Topping:
1 cup crushed potato chips or chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 stick melted soy margarine
1 tablespoon flour
Directions:I am too lazy to peel squash. I cut a squash in half, seed, and turn upside-down on a baking sheet and bake until soft, about 45 minutes at 350 F. Then I scoop out the pulp, mash, and measure. As a bonus, I roast the seeds while I wait on the squash. You could use frozen squash from the store for this recipe.
Mix ingredients together and put in 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Mix topping ingredients, sprinkle over squash mixture, and bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.
This is my favorite squash recipe that is a hit at family get-togethers. It is on the sweet side, so even the kids will eat it. Sometimes I cut down on the vegan sugars and margarine when fixing at home with good success. Another recipe I have similar to this adds 1 t. vanilla which gives sweetness with no empty calories.
Serves: 8
Preparation time: 1 hr.
I made this for my non-veggie co-workers for out Thanksgiving lunch. I've gotten several requests for the recipe.

Wow! Way too much vegan sugar for my tastes; however this is an easy recipe & probably could be adapted just as easily.

I cut the vegan sugar in half and added 1 cup grated soy cheddar cheese. It was very good and probably would be good without the brown sugar, too.

May seem like a silly question, but can anyone tell me about roasting the seeds? Do you add anything to them? Just stick them on a sheet in the oven for awhile? hmmmm...

Starlight, pick the seeds free of string and toss them up with some sea salt, bake like you would granola, at a low temp for a long time, ie. 300` for 1-1/2 hours or until well toasted, stirring often. Allow them to cool and enjoy. You may also toss a little oil in with them, if you wish. Some people rinse them, but I think they taste a bit nuttier as is...

Starlight, You may also try to roast the seeds (any seeds)with tamai sauce. Mix the same amount of oil and tamari sauce in a bowl then add the seeds and place on cookie sheet and broil till toasted. You can sprinkle the little bit of sauce left over as well. Remember to turn them once in awhile.

As for vegan margarin (sp), I use Earth Balance (brand). It has no transfatty acids, GMOs or, whether partially or not, no hydrogenated oils. Its ... wonderful. I use it for everything!
