Step 5: Bake to Perfection
  1. I bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

I love serving this squash casserole alongside fried chicken, grilled pork chops, or even a Thanksgiving turkey.
