Squash Casserole
Squash casserole isn't something that I had growing up as a kid.  So to say I was excited to cook this dish, was an understatement.  The mishaps that I had during the cooking was I accidentally left out the eggs and worcestershire  sauce.  I didn't realize it until after the casserole was in the oven.  I felt really mad at myself, but it still turned out delicious.

Recipe Notes

As I was doing this recipe and I did make a few mistakes, I realize that the dish did turn out.  It was still a casserole, and it was layered, and had a really amazing taste.  It was still a squash casserole but with just two ingredients missing.  Sometimes you will make these mistakes in cooking.  You just got to go with the flow and hope that it turns out amazing.  If not learn from it and try it again.  You could add a little bit of heat by adding some red pepper flakes to it as well.  You just need to watch the levels depending on whom you are cooking for.
