This dish is a hit with my husband; he always asks for more!
Squash casserole is a heartwarming dish that has its roots in Southern comfort food. It’s an excellent way to make use of an abundant harvest of summer squash, or to simply transform a basic vegetable into something delightfully creamy and delicious. With layers of tender squash, savory onions, and a crunchy, cheesy topping, this casserole becomes a crowd-pleaser at any meal. Whether you’re looking to bring a dish to a potluck or serve a comforting side at a family dinner, squash casserole is the perfect blend of simplicity and rich flavor.
Squash casserole pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. For a balanced meal, consider serving it alongside grilled chicken or roasted turkey. A fresh garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette also contrasts nicely with the creamy texture of the casserole. Additionally, buttery dinner rolls or a light quinoa salad can complement the dish, making it a versatile option for both casual family dinners and festive gatherings.
