There’s no need to peel the squash because their skins are soft, and will continue to soften during cooking. Use a mandolin to make thin and even slices. Summer Squash – This recipe calls for 6 medium-sized squashes, which is about 2 pounds.While it’s ideal for holidays and special occasions, it’s so easy to make that you can serve it any day of the year. Squash might be a summer veggie, but it’s a must-have at Thanksgiving and Christmas! It’s a wonderful side dish to any meaty entree, such as roast chicken, glazed ham, and turkey. I love how this recipe takes the most humble produce, squash and onions, and transforms them into something wildly scrumptious. Paula Deen’s squash casserole has the most appetizing combination of sweet, creamy, and cheesy, with a little bit of crunchiness on top. It’s absolutely to die for! Paula Deen Squash Casserole I’m usually not a fan of meatless casseroles, but this one is an exception. But the golden crushed crackers on top make it so amazing. The bottom layer alone is already such a treat.

Topping this macaroni and cheese with bread crumbs and crumbled bacon gives a nice texture to this comfort dish, and serving it inside an acorn squash makes it really fun and unexpected! This recipe can easily be doubled if serving a larger amount of people.With a combination of summer squash, onions, cheddar, parmesan, and sour cream, this casserole is incredibly sweet, savory, and creamy. The creaminess of the cheese sauce combined with the hint of spice from the pepper jack marries really nicely with the fresh and nutty taste of acorn squash. Because they’re made from egg whites and not yolks, they’re low in fat, sodium and contain no cholesterol! Since this recipe requires you to both boil and bake the noodles, you really want something that will withstand the heat and not get mushy, and No Yolks always passes that test! They’re also a healthy egg noodle alternative. They always cook up perfectly smooth and maintain their firm yet fluffy texture no matter how you serve them. No Yolks noodles were a perfect call for this dish. I also ditched the traditional elbow shaped noodles and used my beloved No Yolks noodles to make this dish really shine! You can never go wrong with making a good old fashion macaroni and cheese, but sometimes old fashioned is just a little too predictable, ya know? Since I prefer to have a little spice in my life, I knew I couldn’t possibly go wrong with making Pepper Jack Macaroni & Cheese Stuffed Acorn Squash! Cheddar cheese is just fine and dandy, but the creaminess of a fine pepper jack cheese mixed with a gooey mozzarella is just unbeatable.
ACORN SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH CHEESE FULL
I’m fully convinced that they can be used in place of just about any noodle in any kind of dish! They’re not just for casseroles or stroganoff dishes, and they come in a variety of cuts (including Broad, Extra Broad, Fine, Kluski, Dumplings and Stir-Fry) so your imagination can truly run wild when it comes to incorporating them into a recipe!Īcorn squash is always a fun dish to cook this time of year, simply because they’re the perfect shape to “stuff” with just about any food you can think of! In my opinion, there are few things more comforting this time of year than a big bowl full of creamy mac and cheese, so I knew this was the direction that I wanted to go in when creating the perfect fall dish. One thing that I really love about No Yolks noodles is that they’re so incredibly versatile. This time around, I really wanted to incorporate some more fresh and earthy elements onto our Thanksgiving table, and I can’t think of a more perfect veggie to use this season than acorn squash! (You may have seen my Chinese takeout inspired Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Bowls using No Yolks noodles I shared just a few weeks ago!) When I’m feeling a little creative in the kitchen, I really love to reach for No Yolks noodles to help elevate my cooking to a whole new level. My deep southern roots don’t quickly let me forget that casserole dishes are king of the dinner table, but I’ve been daydreaming of a fun way to make a common southern inspired dish with a delicious and unexpected twist! This year for Thanksgiving, I’m making it a point to think “outside the casserole” and serve up some amazing and unique fall-inspired side dishes that my family is sure to love.
