Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I wasn't a squash fan until I married and tried my mother-in-law's squash casserole. I've refined it a bit and now my husband and the whole family love it. As it is quite rich, we don't have it often, but it's delicious.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Perfectly tender and cheesy, everyone will ask for seconds after they try this squash casserole. Yellow squash, zucchini, and onions are sauteed in butter and mixed with cheddar cheese, an egg, and seasoning. Once baked, the casserole is cheesy and super savory. Serve alongside grilled chicken or steak, it's a delicious summer side dish that makes the most of fresh produce.
