The Best Squash Casserole Recipe
When you have an abundance of Summer Squash, there is nothing better to make than the BEST Squash Casserole. It’s creamy, cheesy, and delicious!
I love living in the country. Small towns are the best. We have plenty of space to do as we please, grow gardens, have deer run through the yard, watch the sunset over the hay field, and more. The other huge perk is a sense of community. Just this week, I got a bunch of summer squash from my sweet neighbor — time to turn it into THE BEST Squash Casserole around.
What Size Pan for Squash Casserole
Ah, a southern summer classic side dish. Squash Casserole can be found on many church pot luck tables, and it is so good! You need a 2-quart casserole dish for this recipe, or you can always use a 13x9x2 pan to be safe. Those throw away aluminum pans from the dollar tree are also a lifesaver if you are taking this to a friend’s house. No clean up necessary.
