SQUASH CASSEROLE



Squash Casserole image

Standard Southern treatment for yellow squash - delicious comfort food. It takes one "sleeve" of saltine crackers to make up the 1 1/2 cups of crushed saltines - depending on how finely you crush them and pack them down this amount may vary a bit. The recipe form won't let me put in "one sleeve of saltines", but that is the amount to use. Some people like a lot of pepper in their squash - if you like things less spicy I'd stick with the 1/2 teaspoon amount.

POSH YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE



Posh Yellow Squash Casserole image

This is such an easy recipe to make and everyone loves it. I found the recipe originally in the 'Pon Top Edisto cookbook. I have never tried this recipe with bell peppers added. That is up to the individual. I have received more compliments when I use half cheddar and half parmesan cheese together. You can't go wrong either way.
