Butternut Squash

Ok, it's true, I do like coconut better than chocolate. Almond Joy is my favorite candy bar.  This is why I love this recipe..it makes SQUASH taste like a DESSERT. Really. It is so easy to make and a hit at every holiday meal. But don't wait for a holiday. Make it for supper tonight.

Butternut  Squash

2 C cooked butternut squash
3 eggs
3/4 C butter
1 C milk
1 C sugar
1/2 t ginger
1/2 C shredded coconut
1/2 t coconut flavoring
pinch salt

Cook butternut squash whole in microwave until soft. Then cut in half and scrape out the insides.
OR
Boil whole squash for 45 minutes to an hour and peel off shell.
Combine all ingredients and bake in greased 11 x 7 inch or  9 x 13 pan.  Set this pan inside a  larger pan 1/2 full of water.  Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.  Remove cooked casserole and ADD crushed Ritz cracker crumbs on top. Put back in oven and brown.  (You can freeze this casserole with the cracker crumbs to eat later).
