Butternut Squash, Potato, and Ham Casserole

Here’s a delicious way to use up your leftover ham. This Butternut Squash, Potato, and Ham Casserole is an easy and hearty dish.

Some folks wonder what to do with butternut squash beyond the soup bowl. I created a super easy and incredibly yummy recipe, and it uses butternut squash, Yukon Gold potatoes, homemade bread crumbs, chopped parsley, Alfredo sauce and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. That’s six ingredients and one super delicious meal. But wait! What if I threw in some chopped ham. We had a ton leftover from the holidays, and I think it will work perfectly well. I think our Butternut Squash, Potato, and Ham Casserole is going to become a mainstay on your cold weather menu.

And if you planted a late fall and early winter garden this year you may just have a few butternut squash just laying around and waiting for someone like you to come along and seize the day. Carpe Diem in the kitchen is always a good thing.
