My mother always made a heavenly squash casserole when I was growing up. This is my trimmed-down version that's super-easy to make and never dissapoints on taste. In the summer my husband and I eat this at least once a week and it's nearly guilt-free! I use 2% sharp cheddar and turkey bacon, but feel free to go full fat with some of the ingredients.
