This was very easy to put together. I cut it in half. Instead of bacon I used crumbled Italian Sausage. I love bacon and squash but for this recipe I thought Italian sausage the better choice. Plus I had some I needed to use. I used to taste. I added some fresh mushrooms I needed to use up. I used red onion. I mixed cream of onion with with cream of mushroom. The cream of mushroom used was a roasted garlic. Added some good flavor. I used Mozzerella cheese and Mixed it in with the veggies at the end. I beat together two eggs and mixed them in after I put the mixture in the casserole pan. I posted the before and after photos. It was fun to make and it seems at if you can use any veggies or meats you want. There are tons of variations. Especially good if you have food you need to use up. Great, easy and fun recipie, it's going into my book! Thanks!

We were not happy with this meal. The flavors are not well matched. I had to throw the balance away since no one liked it. Sorry but this was our reaction.

This is different from the herb stuffing/squash recipe, and a nice twist. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough salt. Next time, I'll add extra when boiling the squash, and then a little more when baking. I used Cheddar because I had it here, and I think that helps too. I've had this in my cookbook for centuries and just gotten around to trying it. I wish I'd tried it much sooner.

We really liked the flavor of this casserole. The only thing I did different was to use cheese slices instead of shredded. Thanks Stephanie C. Bullwinkle.
