In this post I am sharing how to make a simple Squash Casserole Recipe.

I love yellow squash, also referred to as summer squash or crookneck squash. This simple casserole recipe is easy to put together making it a perfect side to a meal any day of the week.

I remember the first time that I ever had squash casserole. It was at granny’s house and I helped her make it. Granny was the carefree grandmother who allowed kids to help in the kitchen.

Granny and I threw together the squash casserole and she was just as pleased as could be with how delicious it turned out.

Hi,if I wanted to make this casserole for just two people with just two squash should I cut the ingredients in half or I can still use the same measurements.

Hi Sonja, I would probably cut back on the amount of cheese, onion and crackers then keep everything else about the same.

One egg or two? There is a discrepancy between the list of ingredients and your instructions.

Joy, It should be just one egg. Thank you for pointing that out. :)
