We loved this really different but delicious squash casserole! The squash is light and buttery combined with the flavorful cheese and onion. Next time I’ll be sure to drain the boiled squash and onion really well. I’ll be making this often every summer now!

My new favorite way to make a squash casserole, thank you Jimmy! This is a lighter tasting dish than ones with sour cream or soup added, in my opinion. Since my squash plants are out of control producing tons of squash, we'll likely have this once a week!
