Charleston Yellow Squash Casserole

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!

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.

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! =)

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.

This was delicious! It tasted like a quiche. Even with all of the healthful substitutions, it still tasted rich. My DH requested that next time I add diced ham and serve this as a main course with a salad, he liked it that much. I have to agree.

I was given some very large homegrown squash and needed a recipe for them. I tried this very simple recipe and my husband and I love it. We'll defintely be making this again.

I used soy cheese and added some other veggies that I had on hand (fresh tomato, grated carrot, zucchini). Also didn't have ritz, so just used some canned breadcrumbs and sprayed some butter spray on top prior to baking. This is a fantastic recipe... I could eat this as a meal! Thanks so much for posting!!

This does freeze beautifully! I didn't even thaw before baking, and it warmed up wonderfully. Love the nutmeg! This high note is even better after it's been frozen. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made the recipe as directed. My husband loved it. He said that it had more 'kick' than other, similiar recipes that I've tried. The nutmeg makes a difference. I also liked mixing low-fat & regular cheese for a healthier version that tasted the same as full-fat. And, it smelled wonderful while baking. Also made this recipe to go with Thanksgiving dinner. Mom loved it too--even though it was replacing her traditional version of squash casserole. This one is now #1 at our house.

My husband and I love squash casserole and I've tried several different recipes over the years. I made this recipe for Christmas dinner and my husband said it was the best he'd ever had! All of the other squash casserole recipes in my recipe file are getting tossed, this is it! Thanks!

Delicious! I crush a few extra Ritz crackers to add to the shredded cheese for the topping. Thanks for sharing.

Delicious! I made half a recipe and had half of that as dinner. I used regular mild cheddar cheese.

Big hit with the family and a great way to use up the tons of squash from our garden. I added some crumbled Ritz crackers top top just before baking which made a nice crust.

Very good squash dish. It seemed to have a hint of sweetness to it. Easy to make, delicious and healthy...what more can you ask for. Made for 2011 All You Can Cook Buffet.

I'm always experimenting with new squash recipes. I think I finally found a clear winner within the group. This was so tasty and the paprika and nutmeg really made it! The only change I did was to saute the squash instead of boil it. Also it was nice to have such a great recipe with so few ingredients!

I love yellow summer squash, and have eaten many yellow squash casseroles. I must say that this one is one of my favorite squash casseroles to date. The texture and flavors are just right. Plus, this isn't very heavy in fat as some other squash casseroles are. I agree that this is an excellent substitute for potatoes. Thanx for a new favorite!

This is a great recipe for squash that has all the flavor with the added benefit of having fewer calories than other recipes like it. Can't wait for summer to roll around again!

I have yellow squash coming out of my ears. I tried this and was very surprised how good it tasted. The nutmeg definitely adds an intersting note. I used the egg beaters and the reduced fat cheese. It was eaten by all with nothing but compliments.

i didn't get the recipe from here but on the internet and this was a great way to have summer squash in a lighter fare than traditional ways with lots of butter etc. Although I don't go near squash everyone loved it and I have added your post to my collection of tried and true cookbook!

Fantastic! A friend of mine was nice enough to share a bunch of squash from her garden, so this casserole was the perfect answer! I had to make a few adjustments because, shockingly, I was missing some key ingredients. I used 2 cups 2% milk cheddar cheese, and would you believe I was out of milk... so I substituted... ready? One cup cottage cheese. Aaaand I had no crackers, so I toasted 3 slices of bread until they were super-dry and processed them up to make crumbs. And even through all THAT this recipe was awesome! I will thoroughly enjoy this batch and look forward to making it again soon (properly) :-) Thank you!!
