Everyone loves this recipe! Don't skimp on butter or parmesan cheese. I made this one time without frying squash first and didn't use butter, there wasn't any buttery juices which make this casserole. A crowd pleaser and worth the calories!

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 medium zucchini
8 medium summer squash
1 Spanish onion
3 large tomatoes
16 ounces parmesan cheese
1 cup butter

Steps:

  • Slice squash in 1/2 inch slices.

  • Slice tomatoes in half then each half in half and then in half again.
  • Mix the squash together with the onion and fry on medium heat using 4 tablespoons butter for each batch; I do 4 batches, 1 at a time so you don't overload frying pan; make sure not to brown the squash, cook about 5 minutes each batch, add quarter of tomatoes and mix.
  • Layer vegetable in a single layer in a large casserole dish that has been sprayed with Pam. Coat the top of vegetables with 4 oz. parmesan cheese, repeat layers ending with parmesan cheese.
