Yellow Squash Casserole – a simple, healthy dish that really makes plain ‘ol yellow squash something special. Really tasty and a guaranteed hit with the family.
Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of squash. It’s usually not all that interesting and I tend to cook it in dishes with lots of other ingredients. Well, this dish is really, really good, and it’s mainly … squash. And cheese. It’s a wonder what onions, garlic, and green chiles do for squash.
You can cut the cheese in half and it’s still very good. Note the Triscuits – I had trouble deciding which flavor to use. Triscuits has introduced many different flavors, and all seem to be really good. I had Smoked Gouda Triscuits, Fire Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil Triscuits, and Honey Fig Triscuits. Wow – any of these would be really good in this dish. I used the Honey Fig because the box had been opened and happened to have the exact right amount left. I’ve seen similar recipes to this that use saltines. Saltines? How boring…
I’ll be buying yellow squash a lot more now. Hope you like this as much as I do!
