About this recipe

Lisa Prince, The host of Flavor NC and the cooking contests at the North Carolina State Fair shares this family favorite.

“I have enjoyed this squash casserole at every family holiday gathering for as long as I can remember but especially at Thanksgiving. Aunt Celeste would make sure it was always on the table and we devoured every bite. The creamy texture of the casserole with the delicious ‘stuffing like’ topping includes a great squash flavor that is comfort food at its best. She shared the recipe with me and now I enjoy making it and serving it to my family.”
