Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Butternut squash
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions

  1. Place about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the slow cooker, or about a cup of water.
  2. Cut a small butternut squash in half. scoop out all of the seeds. Save and rinse the seeds. Toast them later for a great snack. You know I don't throw any thing away!
  3. Place the butternut squash in slow cooker and put on the lid. Put the slow cooker on low for 8 hours.
  4. The butternut squash will be done no matter what. No second guessing. It has cooked slowly for 8 hours and the butternut squash is perfect consistency.
  5. Take a fork or a spoon and scoop out all the golden squash into a bowl or container to store and use for later. Try not to eat it all as you are putting it in the dish. This is really difficult for me.
