This recipe is one that I've modified from several different squash casserole recipes to make gluten-free. Zucchini can also be used (2 lbs of zucchini combined with 2 lbs of yellow squash, although I have always used just squash.) This recipe is one that you'll either love or hate; I make this for my slightly-reluctant husband to try and get more vegetables in our diet. It makes a great side dish and is perfect for church potlucks. Isn't that somethin'?

Lowfat Squash Casserole

4 lbs of sliced yellow squash
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
8 oz lite sour cream
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp pepper
2 large eggs, whisked
2 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs*

2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook yellow squash and onion in boiling water for 8 minutes or just until tender; drain squash mixture well. Mix squash and onions, half of the cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic salt, pepper and eggs in a mixing bowl. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

In a separate bowl, stir together melted butter and breadcrumbs.

Cover casserole with remaining cheddar and Parmesan cheese; spread breadcrumb mixture over top of casserole with a fork.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes

A Note From Bethany...
*Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used. Since they tend to be expensive, I've also used crumbled gluten-free nacho chips to add a bit of extra flavor.
