BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE
     BUTTERNUT-SQSH - Butternut squash and carrot casserole
     A delicious Thanksgiving or Christmas casserole. 
 My mother
     makes this at the holidays.  I don't know where 
she origi-
     nally got the recipe.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 10)
     2 1/2-5 lbs
               butternut squash
     1-2       carrots (depending on quantity of squash)
     1 cup     rolled oats (uncooked oatmeal)
     12 oz     green peas
     1 Tbsp    butter
     2         eggs, beaten frothy
     pinch     salt
     3-5 Tbsp  cinnamon sugar
     1/2 tsp   vanilla
PROCEDURE
          (1)  Boil squash and carrot together until 
the carrot
               is tender.  Allow both to cool.  Slide 
skin off
               carrot. Being careful with squash, remove 
its
               seeds and peel.  Blend carrots and squash
               together.  Don't overblend: preserve 
some texture.
          (2)  Add cinnamon sugar and salt to taste.
          (3)  Add frothy eggs to carrot/squash mixture. 
 Grease
               an 8-inch loaf pan.  Coat the grease 
with oatmeal.
               Mix 1/2 cup oatmeal into casserole.  
Gently fold
               in green peas, then put mixture in casserole 
pan.
               Sprinkle remaining oatmeal on top and 
dot with
               butter.
          (4)  Bake at 350 deg. F 30 to 40 minutes until 
brown on
               top.  Once cooked, it can be served immediately 
or
               frozen for later consumption.
NOTES
     Cinnamon sugar is a mixture of sugar and powdered 
cinnamon.
     Commercial cinnamon sugar mixtures are mostly sugar. 
 My mom
     prepares her own mixture with the emphasis decidedly 
on the
     cinnamon.
RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 40 minutes preparation, 
40 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
