Tex-Mex Summer Squash Casserole image

I was looking for something new to do with summer squash and found this recipe on cooking.com. It was a hit. I have been asked for the recipe more than once. it is just a little different. The recipe calls for chopped jalapenos and cheddar cheese. I didn't have the cheddar on hand, but did have a cheese called "3 Alarm"...

2 1/4 lb summer squash, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (about 10 cups)
