Butternut squash’s texture and flavor are similar to pumpkin, and it’s available year-round, unlike pumpkin’s shorter fall season.

Wrap cooled, leftover casseroles directly in their pan with a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of foil. To save on freezer space, or if there isn’t much left, remove and wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for 1 to 2 months. You can also divide leftovers into plastic containers, cover with plastic wrap, and then secure the lid.

The time required to warm the food depends on the quantity and the temperature of the oven. To be on the safe side, reheat until food is 165°F. For individual slices, heat in the microwave in one-minute increments until warm.
