Warm up your Autumn evenings with a hearty pumpkin bake

Autumn in the kitchen? I love it! When this special time of year begins, I always prepare a casserole with pumpkin, potatoes, and chicken. My family adores this dish, and the neighbours constantly request the recipe. If only they knew how straightforward it is!

Busy parents love one-pot meals and simple casseroles the most. They are easy, tasty, nutritious, relatively economical, and quickly prepared. I always take advantage of these benefits when autumn arrives, along with the new school year and daily hustle. I do so with a pumpkin casserole.

Pumpkin casserole

This dish has so many advantages that it's hard to list them all. Regardless, it's worth making, and in a really large quantity. For me, such a casserole with pumpkin, potatoes, and chicken is enough for two days. The kids are crazy about it, and I’m delighted that all I need to do is chop the ingredients, throw them into a baking dish, bake it, and it’s ready.

Doesn't that sound tempting? If you’re nodding your head now, below I present a recipe that I use and that has never let me down. Good luck!

pumpkin, potato, and chicken casserole

Ingredients:

  • 700g Hokkaido pumpkin,
  • 1kg potatoes,

  • 2 cups heavy cream (30%),
  • salt,
  • pepper,

  2. Cut the onions into wedges, dice the potatoes, and slice the carrots.
  3. Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds, then chop the flesh – it can be sliced or diced.
  4. Now layer the ingredients in a greased baking dish: first half of the potatoes, then the remaining vegetables, chicken, and the rest of the potatoes.
