I made this for a Christmas potluck brunch and it was very well received. I did not add the butter as it seemed rich enough with the mayo. I prefer my squash not overly seasoned as I like the delicate flavor it has so I only used the seasonings as listed. I sliced my squash into 1/4 inch slices (personal preference) so it served up nicely in small squares.

This is a wonderful tasting Squash Casserole. I did add some seasoning salt. All of my family loved it. Thanks for posting.

This was TOTALLY yummy. Of course, I modified! I didn't have any onions in the house (gasp!) but had tons of green onions in the garden so used those. They added some nice color but if anyone chooses to do this, don't saute them with the zucchini until the last minute! I used whole grain Ritz crackers. I also left the cheese out of part of it because DH has dairy allergies and used Fleischmann's Unsalted margarine to keep it DF. The part without cheese was delicious, so next time, I think I'll omit the cheese altogether!

Was a nice way to use up some squash. The only change I made was to use panko bread crumbs instead of the Ritz. It was good but a little bit bland. I would make it again but add a bit more seasoning, probably some more garlic and some paprika or something.

Didn't have to tweak this recipe. It was simple and tasted very good. One of the best squash casserole I have made in a long time.
