Hey yall, this southern girl added bacon sauteed with the onion prior to cooking. I have found squash is always good with bacon, and my husband loves this.

Really good!!! I love summer squash and this is a good way to use all the crooknecks from my garden. The texture beneath the crust was mushy (but still yummy) so I tried baking the casserole for 10-15 min and then putting the crust on to brown. It wasn't quite as mushy this way, and I also didnt simmer the veggies first- they still get plenty tender for my taste but you avoid a mushy product. Will try adding some meat next time for a main dish! Thanx for a good recipe!!

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. My boyfriend's aunt made something similar for us last year and I've been trying to find a recipe like it ever since. This has to be as close as it gets! I followed the recipe except I had to use 2 zucchini (I was out of yellow squash), but the green with the yellow actually looked nice - gave it some color. I HIGHLY recommend this recipe to ANYONE! My mom always made the kind with sour cream and cream of mushroom/chicken soup - this is 10 times better! Thanks!
