This recipe is pure magic. The two main ingredients
are healthy but I've never cared for the taste. Blended
together in this recipe, the result is the consistency of
mashed potatoes and has a sweetness that keeps me
asking "did you put any sweetener in this?"
SQUASH CASSEROLE
1 med to large butternut squash
2 med sweet potatoes (dark red is better)
1/2 cup butter, melted *
2 egg whites
salt / pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* this seemed like a lot of butter to me, though
the recipe makes 8 - 10 servings. We made
it with 1/4 cup butter last time and it was great,
though it lacked the buttery smooth consistency
that we get with more butter.
