An old family recipe that transforms yellow summer squash into tender, creamy yet light goodness! - earthlyepicurean —earthlyepicurean

Test Kitchen Notes

This is the ultimate warm-weather comfort food: an uncomplicated dish one can imagine has been prepared for several generations, because everyone loves it and couldn’t imagine a summer family gathering without it. It's remarkably light and tasty. We topped it with fresh whole-grain bread crumbs, a nice touch which I recommend. All four taste testers enjoyed this, unanimously recommending it for EP honors - AntoniaJames —The Editors

@ Teri - we must be related - that's my family's squash casserole recipe too! LOL (http://dearmasa.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/yellow-squash-casserole/)

This looks like a lighter version of my family's squash casserole, which also calls for cheddar cheese and crushed Ritz crackers. Can't wait to try!
