This is a quick and easy stuffing to make when you’re cooking for just a few! From our Betty Crocker Right Size Recipes—Delicious Meals for One or Two cookbook, this recipe is perfect for a small holiday gathering but also fast enough to make any night of the week. It cleverly starts with a packaged premade croutons, tasty butternut squash and a few other yummy ingredients, for a flavorful side that’s bursting with freshness. Pair it with oven-roasted turkey breast , baked ham , baked chicken , or skillet pork chops and a vegetable such as green beans for a truly comforting meal.

Haven't tried butternut squash yet? You're in for a treat! Its mild, nutty flavor is a delightful blend of pumpkin and sweet potato. Take advantage of the precut butternut squash when it’s available in the refrigerated case in the produce section of your grocery store or you can cut your own. Either way, it cooks up tender and sweet, bringing that cozy, seasonal goodness in a simple side dish.
