Instructions:
I’m always asked to share this recipe when I serve it. It’s different and always a hit at potlucks.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 11 × 7- inch baking pan.
- For the squash, cream the butter and granulated sugar in a bowl using a mixer. Beat in the eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Stir in the squash. The mixture will be thin. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until almost set.
- For the topping, combine the cereal, brown sugar, pecans, and melted butter in a bowl; mix well. Remove the casserole from oven and sprinkle on the topping. Return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly.
