This Butternut Squash Souffle is amazing! The perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or any meal! It’s like you’re eating dessert it’s so good. You will love this!
I had great intentions of posting a few yummy Thanksgiving recipes, but all of a sudden it’s almost mid-November and I’ve only made one recipe to share. I know Thanksgiving is still two weeks away, but we’re leaving for Puerto Rico next week for a family vacation so now I’m trying to get ready for that. . . .ugh!
So next year maybe I’ll be on the ball. . .I can at least hope.
Luckily, I did manage to make this Butternut Squash Souffle which is incredibly delicious and a perfect side dish to go along with your Thanksgiving dinner. I know it may just look like a plate of orange mush, but don’t let the picture fool you. This stuff is amazing, seriously amazing!
I got this recipe years ago from a friend in my ward. It’s a favorite family Thanksgiving dish in her family. It’s savory & sweet and incredibly delicious. I’ve made this on many occasions for dinner parties and I’m always asked for the recipe.
Now, it’s probably not the healthiest of vegetables dishes with a stick of butter, sugar and mayonnaise in it, but oh it’s sooo good!

Love love love this!! It is so good-almost like dessert❤️
I completely agree with you Cyd, thanks!
Wow that looks fantastic. I love butternut squash anything. Yes, the mayo is an interesting ingredient. I wonder if it’s called for because it has eggs in it and this is a souffle? I will have to try this soon.
