Butternut Squash Casserole

This is a yummy side-dish that is great around Thanksgiving, Christmas, or really anytime! I only use about 1/4 C sugar, and the squash is still plenty sweet.

Ingredients:
Squash:
1 large butternut squash
1/2 C sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tsp vanilla

Topping:
1/8 C margarine (melted)
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C flour
1/8-1/4 C chopped pecans
1/4 C coconut

Directions:
1. Peel, seed, dice (into 1" cubes), and boil squash until tender.
2. Drain well and transfer into mixing bowl.
3. Beat squash on low speed with mixer.
4. Add in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
5. Mix well.
6. Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish.
7. Make topping by first creaming margarine and brown sugar.
8. Mix in flour, pecans, and coconut.
9. Spread topping over squash.
10. Bake at 325 F for 30-40 minutes.

Serves 8-10.
