Squash Casserole

by Myra on June 21, 2010

This squash casserole recipe has been in my family for years. I remember helping both my Memaw and my Mom make this.  This casserole is quick and easy to make with fresh squash that is so abundant at this time of year.

My husband isn’t a raw squash lover, but he *loves* squash casserole. In my opinion, cheese makes just about everything perfect!

Squash Casserole

  • 7 – 8 yellow squash, washed and cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups grated cheese
  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2-3 twists fresh ground black pepper

Cook squash until tender (usually about 30 minutes on stovetop.)  Drain and set aside.  Saute onion and garlic and add to squash.  Add butter, eggs, milk, cheese, cornflakes, salt and pepper and mix well.  Pour into a greased 13×9 casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy!

I love squash casserole but have never made it because no one in my family really likes it. This recipe looks good though so I may give it a try anyway. I totally agree with you on the cheese thing!!

I’m not a squash girl (well, I like zucchini), but- given the cheese involved ;) - this looks worth a shot! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

That sounds wonderful! Squash is my favorite vegetable so I’m always looking for new ways to fix it so my family doesn’t get sick of it. I’ll have to put this into the squash rotation. Thanks!!

This looks delicious! At the beginning of this year I changed my eating habits and got back to my “whole foods” roots. I’m in love with veggies now, so this casserole is right up my alley.

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. I can’t wait to eat it this weekend!
