Squash Casserole (Charlotte's Barclay Cafeteria)

My dinner guest declared this "the best squash casserole I've ever had. I could eat it everyday!" I liked it as well. Due to availability and diet constraints, I used Egg-beaters and no-fat half'n half. Thanks.

I was born in Charlotte NC -- before Barclay I think -- and this is exactly (ok, replace that processed cheese with cheddar) what my mom made for squash casserole when I was very young. I loved it even then! When I was a teenager, we were more health-conscious (but still love our cheese!), so we left out the margarine, sugar, and sometimes flour. Just so you know, those modifications work! When I use 50% or 75% reduced-fat cheese, the flour is NOT needed. Childhood classic summer comfort food!

We don't always pre-cook and mash the squash, and while that's a completely different dish, it's also delicious as long as you don't mind your squash being visibly obvious.

I've been making this for years. I've had to adlib a few times, but it has always turned out fantastic! Even vegetable haters love this. You can NOT go wrong!

I made this just as written with the exception of using cheddar cheese rather than process. Everyone who tried it loved it. Thank you for sharing.

This recipe sounds wonderful. I am from Charlotte and am going to try this one. Can this casserole be assembled the day before baking?

Everyone loved this and I even had requests for the recipe. I followed the recipe as written and used the full 2 tablespoons sugar. Some reviewers said that was too much sugar, but we didn't think so. I didn't have a potato masher because my DD took it off to college, so I had to use my electric mixer. I'd highly recommend investing in a potato masher because the electric mixer made a mess and I had to leave it somewhat chunky. Nevertheless, it didn't alter the taste and we all enjoyed this dish. Thank you l0vetw0c00k for posting!

I made this recipe today for a family function BOY was it a hit!! I doubled the recipe so there was plenty. I put a small amount on my plate and it was great . I went back for more only to find my 34yo nephew scraping the casserole dish for more.

Outstanding! I halved the recipe and used shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Heated up great the next day. Next time I might bake or steam the squash instead boiling to preserve all the nutrients. Also - we didn't think this was too sweet with the full amount of sugar. Thanks!

We really love this. DD claimed she didn't like squash but went back for seconds. Great way to round out a meal and it surprises the squash-haters.

I thought this was absolutely delicious, i added one tbsp sugar, subbed half and half for the milk and sprinkled some cheddar cheese on top before baking. I also baked at 350 * for 1 hr. This will definately be on our thanksgiving table.

Enjoyed this! More custard-like than other squash casseroles I've tried. Having made this once, next time I'd use the 2 T of sugar called for in the recipe (I used 2 t as suggested by other reviewers) and Kraft sharp slices (all I had were the regular processed cheese slices). Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Yum, yum! Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a success. I used about 3 tsp of sugar. Everyone agreed that it needed something, but no one could figure out what. I will definately try this one again.

Super good! I had to modify based on what I had on hand: I had to use 1 zucchini in addition to the squash to make up the 2 lbs, half of an onion, 3 T of butter, 2 tsp sugar, and velveeta cheese. I almost skipped the rest of the meal, just so I could eat more of this!

Fantastic squash recipe. My only complaint is that I should have doubled it. The whole thing went, without seconds for me because my 2 and 4 year olds ate seconds, and my husband had thirds, I think. I, too, reduced the sugar, and made it all with low-fat substitutes for cheese, milk, and butter and it still was wonderful!This is my new favorite way to make squash.

This is absolutely the most mouth watering squash casserole ever!! It is so easy to make too. I doubled this recipe measuring the sugar in teaspoons rather than tablespoons as recommended by a previous reviewer. This was for a group of 12 and all but a few spoonfuls were left over. Good for me...I ate every last bit a little later when no one was looking! :) Everyone just raved over this scrumptious side dish and practically begged for the recipe. It is definitely worth sharing! I myself am throwing out my old squash recipe and using this one from now on.

This casserole was simple enough that the delicate flavor of the yellow squash wasn't drowned out. I used the 2 tsp. of sugar as suggested by another reviewer and that seemed just right. Very good recipe. We all enjoyed it.

So good I had leftovers of it for breakfast the next day! One word of caution: it seemed a bit too sweet for my taste, so next time I make it I will use 2 TEASPOONS of sugar rather than 2 tablespoons. Other than that minor adjustment, it was BY FAR the best squash casserole I've ever had!

This really was delicious! I am a squash fan, but I'm sure even squash-o-phobes would like this one. And it was really easy, which is always a plus. I'll definitely make it again and again.

A truly wonderful squash dish. We have an overflow of yellow squash and this is by far the best recipe I have found to fix it. Thanks so much for posting.
