Many were intrigued by the squash casserole that my dad made a couple of weeks ago while I was in Florida and I received requests for a recipe.
I was happy to create my own version of squash casserole to share with you guys today! I served this recipe to some friends who came over for dinner last night and all of us went back for seconds. Safe to say it’s a winner!
CHEESY SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
Cheesy Summer Squash Casserole
Using summer squash for a cheesy casserole with a crispy panko topping is probably my favorite way to eat it. I mean, what’s not to love about cheese + crunch?
The ingredients line-up is pretty simple.
Step one is to saute the squash and onion in some butter.
While the squash is cooking, stir together the cheesy mixture of greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayo and shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir cheese mixture into sautéed squash.
Top with panko bread crumbs that are tossed with melted butter and a little more cheese.
And bake! Easy, peasy.

The result is a warm, gooey, cheesy inside that has the perfect amount of tang thanks to the yogurt/sour cream. The crispy, buttery Panko topping balances out the texture so well.
One option to kick it up a notch when it comes to flavor profile is to add some cayenne pepper to the squash when it’s sautéing. Skip this if you don’t like the heat but my friends really enjoyed the addition when I served the squash casserole with dinner last night.
Here’s the recipe!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]
