"Even though my family doesn't really like ssquash, they LOVE this casserole and often request it instead of potatoes! It's secret ingredient, nutmeg, adds a really different flavor combination that is a real people pleaser! It freezes well, so I always keep one on hand for potluck suppers or picnics. The original recipe, which I have modified to be lower-fat, came from "Entertaining at the College of Charleston", by Zoe D. Sanders"

  1. I made this for dinner tonight and served it with broiled yellowfin tuna steaks and rice. It was really a very good squash casserole and I would give it a 4-1/2 rating if I could. The nutmeg is something that you notice but you can't define what it is that you are tasting. I never would have thought of adding nutmeg to a squash casserole but I like it. Thanks for posting a good recipe!

  2. This was pretty good, but not the best squash casserole I have ever made. However, it does have a little something different with the nutmeg. I would add a little more next time. I used regular cheese, and 2% milk instead of skim. It was a little runny...next time I will use half and half, and top the casserole with crushed ritz crackers and butter instead of more cheese.

  3. In one word...YUM!! Equal parts of squash and onions balance the dish nicely. But you are right..it's that touch of nutneg that makes it special! Thanks so much for posting. This is one recipe that will served next Thanksgiving! =)

  4. I'm a huge fan of summer squash (yellow squash) and so I was super excited to try this recipe. I honestly loved it so much. It's a great side dish, sure, but also delicious all on it's own!

  5. I didn't have any crackers, so I subbed garlic flavored bread crumbs. I didn't have paprika, so I skipped it. I was a little weary of the nutmeg, so I cut it down to 1/4 ts. Like others, I sauteed my onions in olive oil before adding the squash to steam. This came out so delicious. My husband said, "Make sure you keep this recipe," which is an amazing compliment coming from him. We both went back for seconds, and he doesn't even like squash. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, I'm sure it will be a new summer favorite.
