A comforting and flavorful squash casserole perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the casserole inside for even cooking.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
Use enough water to fully submerge the squash for even cooking.
Add the squash to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Test the squash with a fork; it should be soft but not falling apart.
Drain the cooked squash and mash it in a mixing bowl.
Let the squash cool slightly before mashing to avoid burns.
Mix in the eggs, butter, sugar, salt, pepper, and onion with the mashed squash.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even flavor distribution.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly in the dish for uniform baking.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
For extra crunch, lightly toast the breadcrumbs before sprinkling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
