Abigail writes, "Zucchini also works well with this recipe; I often use a combination of it and yellow summer squash. Even those that go too long before being picked are tasty and tender in this dish. This recipe can be adjusted to your family taste - add more onions or other spices, chopped meat, cheese on top, etc. We like it just as is. :-)"

Good!
Very good! My husband has never cared for squash the way his Mom made it, but he loved this one! He had more than one serving!

Easy to make!
This is a very easy dish to make and delicious at the same time. A great way to use up zucchini or summer squash.

Good Stuff!
I made this for a church potluck and got great reviews! I didn't follow the recipe exactly (do I ever?), so here is what I did differently: I used a 13 x 9 dish instead of a 3-qt. casserole. I used frozen squash. Because it was more watery, I reduced the mayonnaise to 3/4 cup. (I am looking forward to making it with fresh squash!) For the buttered bread crumbs, I whirred four slices of plain white bread in the food processor and tossed the resulting crumbs with 1/2 stick of melted butter. This was the perfect amount to top a 13 x 9 pan, but might be too much if you use a casserole dish.

Yummy!
I made this as a side casserole to go along with supper and all but one (one of my brothers) really liked it. Now I can say I like squash!! =D

Absolutely fabulous!!

This is a wonderful casserole! I loved it!! The summer squash tasted so tender and sweet... but not mushy... It was fun to make, too! :D I reduced the mayonnaise to 3/4 cup, and doubled the eggs and cheese (we love cheese). It was great!

For "buttered bread crumbs", I wasn't sure what to use, so I toasted some bread, tore it into small pieces, and tossed with some melted butter. Worked great, and tasted great with the casserole, too!

If you have yellow crook neck squash or zucchini and want a great side or meatless main dish recipe to use them in, try this recipe!!

This recipe is definitely a 10!!

This recipe gets a 10!
Obviously I really like this recipe, since I submitted it. ;-) But it's a big favorite with my family as well...even my brother who has never liked squash of any kind will eat this casserole. And of course, as the cook, *I* like it because it's so fast and easy. :-) Give it a try!
