I bought a big thing of butternut squash today and want to make it as an entree? Any suggestions?

Are you wanting like stuffed squash?

Anything but soup. I found this and it sounds yummy but was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions

3 lbs. fresh butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. 100% maple syrup
2 tbsp. heavy or whipping cream
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. parsley, minced

Preheat oven to 350?F.

Wash butternut or Hubbard squash, remove seeds and skins and cut into 1 inch cubes. In a large saucepan, cover with salted water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until squash is fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and squeeze out excess moisture in a clean towel or cheesecloth.

While the squash is still hot, in a large bowl, add remaining ingredients (except parsley) and whip at medium speed until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, pepper, sugar, etc., as needed.

Butter a 3 quart baking dish. Transfer whipped squash to dish and spread evenly. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350?F oven for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Garnish with parsley and a pat of butter, if desired.

I love butternut squash risotto. I basically use a regular risotto recipe then add a mix of butternut squash by grating some (which I add with the last couple of additions of broth) as well as cubing some and baking it then adding it in in the end. I also often use a mix of butternut squash soup and chicken broth as the liquid, but probably not necessary if you don't have it on hand.

If you google butternut squash risotto, there are a number of recipes to follow, if that is easier for you. I am not good at recipes - I kind of just do what sounds good.

This sounds good, but I haven't tried it.

4 c. cooked & mashed sqaush(acorn - butternut)
1/4 c. grated carrot
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 c. sour cream
2 c. Pepperidge Farm stuffing
Plus 4 tbsp. melted butter

Put layer of stuffing in greased casserole. Combine all other ingredients. Pour over stuffing mix in pan. Top with remaining stuffing. Bake at 350 degrees until good and hot.

I usually make a butternut squash soup which I love but it is not very filling. More of a side dish/appetizer.

Butternut squash risotto and Butternut squash soups are also very popular in our house.

Yum, I made something similair but I pureed the squash and am mashing up Total cereal to put on top. I am pretty excited about it! I have a ton of squash so I will be making this this weekend.

I can't find my own version of this recipe, but this is pretty close, though I don't use evaporated milk or vanilla.

 Butternut Squash Casserole

1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
5 ounces evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups butternut squash, cooked and mashed

TOPPING:
1/2 cup Rice Krispies
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 T. butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, cream butter or margarine and sugar. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir in squash (mixture will be thin). Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes or until almost set. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over casserole. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until it bubbles. Makes about 6---1/2 cup servings.

My favorite (but I use it as a side) is to cube it and roast it with apples, onions, and garlic.
