Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 turnip ((you can adjust to suit what you want to use))
3 carrots ((you can adjust to suit what you want to use))
2 parsnips ((you can adjust to suit what you want to use))
2 sweet potatoes ((I used one gigantic one))
1 and 1/2 tsp salt (divided)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 pkg cream cheese ((4 oz))
1/2 cup panko or breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Peel turnip, carrots, parsnips and sweet potato and cut them into chunks. I chopped the turnip smallest because it takes the longest to cook, and the sweet potato larger because it cooks faster. The carrots and parsnips are somewhere in the middle (see photo below for an example).
  • Put them in a large pot with 1 teaspoon of salt, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until vegetables are soft enough to be pierced with a fork or sharp knife (make sure that each kind of vegetable is soft).
  • Drain. I put a strainer over a large bowl so I could save the vegetable broth and make a soup. Put vegetables back in the pot.
  • Use a potato masher to mash them up. Then use a hand mixer to cream them together. Add butter, cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix well to combine and make them creamy.
  • Spoon them into a large casserole dish. You can refrigerate, or even freeze the casserole until you're ready to eat it. When you're ready, bring the dish to room temperature and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle with panko. Bake until heated through (around 30 minutes) and top is browned (you might need to broil it for a couple of minutes).
  • Serve hot and enjoy! :)

TURNIP-SQUASH VEGETARIAN BUDGET CASSEROLE



Turnip-Squash Vegetarian Budget Casserole image

I'm currently on a budget casserole roll here. Feel free to sub the cream of potato soup for any other cream soup (my other favorites are mushroom and celery), they're pretty packed with flavor. It's just that not as many use cream of potato like I do! I like Stovetop traditional sage stuffing mix and the turkey one, any kind of boxed stuffing will do. You can used canned french-fried onions like French's or Durkee but I prefer homemade, Recipe #44115 those are sooooo good.

BUDGET CASSEROLE

My kids like this casserole, they help make it. It's a money saver and I make this often. You can sprinkle your favorite cheese on top the last 1/2 hour of baking. This can be doubled for a potluck dinner.
