Spur Style Butternut Mash

Place the large butternut squash on a cutting board.

Carefully skin the butternut squash & cut it in half.

Thereafter, cut it into quarters & remove any seeds &/or stringy flesh that is inside.

Next, cut the butternut into cubes.

Place the cubed butternut into a medium/large pot & fill with water.

Add in the cinnamon stick & 1 teaspoon salt.

Stir & bring to a boil.

Boil until the butternut is soft. A fork should go through the cubes.

Place the cooked butternut into a strainer to remove excess water. Discard of the cinnamon stick.

Once the excess water is removed, empty the butternut into a medium/large mixing bowl.

Next, use either a fork or a masher & mash up the butternut.

Thereafter, add in the butter & roughly mash again.

Next add in the ½ teaspoon of salt & the sugar.

Finally, add in the Béchamel sauce (white sauce).

Mix well – no need to mash at this point.

Plate & serve. Best served hot.

Spur Style Butternut Mash goes well with any meal but usually served with other sides such as Spur Style Creamed Spinach &/or Spur Style Onion Rings.

Stores for a few days in the refrigerator, can be reheated in the microwave.
