Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To make ahead, prepare the recipe through step 4. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • tip 2
    Butternut squash is a tan-colored, elongated vegetable with a bulbous end and mildly sweet flavor. When selecting butternut squash, look for those that have hard, tough rinds and are heavy for their size.
