Paleo Butternut Squash Casserole

Hey all! I want to try to post one recipe a week at the very least on here for you guys. So here is one of my recipes I've had people ask for. It's so good and also my first attempt at making butternut squash and it was a total slam dunk! 

Paleo Butternut Squash Casserole 

Ingredients 

1 butternut squash, peeled and seeds removed

4-6 sausages (turkey or chicken taste best) casing removed

1/2 cup of fresh or dried cranberries 

1 apple, peeled

2 eggs

4 stocks of celery

1 onion

1 tbsp of Italian spice mix

1 tsp of garlic powder

1 tsp of onion powder

1 tbsp coconut oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions 

1) First preheat your oven to 415 degrees. Then start by cutting the ends off the butternut squash and then peeling the butternut squash with a potato peeler. Cut in half and remove seeds. Once that's is done cut butternut squash into small chunks and place in a bowl and cover with coconut oil. 

2) Take your baking dish and line with additional coconut oil. Place butternut squash in the dish and put in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

3) While that is cooking in a sauce pan or frying pan melt some coconut oil. Cut your sausages up into small pieces and add to the pan.

4) Cut up your onion and celery and add to the pan cool until the meat is cooked. 

5) Add the spices and the apples and cranberries to the pan cook for 2-3 minutes and then set aside until the squash is done. 

6) Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk.

7) When your timer goes off for the squash take it out of the oven and turn down the heat to 400 degrees. Place the ingredients from the pan in the dish with the squash and  pour the eggs over it. 

8) Take the dish and put it back into the oven for 20-30 minutes or until it gets browned. Then remove and serve! Enjoy!
