This Easy Butternut Squash Casserole is a comforting and flavorful side dish that combines tender butternut squash and cauliflower with a savory blend of cheeses and creamy celery soup. Perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings, this casserole offers a delicious way to enjoy seasonal vegetables in a cheesy, baked dish that is simple to prepare and sure to please.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 1/2 cup diced red onions

Cheese and Soup

  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 can (about 10.5 oz) celery soup
  • Aged cheddar cheese, as desired for topping

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets and butternut squash cubes until tender but firm, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well to avoid excess moisture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower and butternut squash with the diced red onions, parmesan cheese, celery soup, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy mixture.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top generously with aged cheddar cheese for a rich, bubbly crust.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and the casserole is heated through.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this warm, cheesy vegetable casserole as a comforting side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for best flavor, but frozen cauliflower and butternut squash can be used if thawed and drained properly.
  • For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; bake when ready to serve.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using salted cheeses or canned soup varieties with added salt.
