Southern Butternut Squash

INGREDIENTS
3 cups mashed, cooked butternut squash
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup white sugar


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter one 2 quart casserole dish.
Blend together the butternut squash, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, butter, vanilla, cream and sugar.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 45 minutes or until set and edges begin to bubble.
Prepare a topping if desired by combining 1 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Mix together and sprinkle over squash before baking.

We tried this recipe (from allrecipes)on Sunday and loved it. I thought the ingredients sounded a little too sweet so I cut the butter down to about 6 T. and the white sugar down to almost a 1/2 c. I also used 2% milk instead of the heavy cream. Jason isn't a fan of squash and he even ate leftovers the next day(he usually doesn't eat lefovers either)!
