Easy Baked Summer Yellow Squash

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a delicious recipe to use up your crop of summer squash, even people who hate squash like this recipe! When I made this I added in about 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic, but that is optional. You can cook the squash hours in advance."

I enjoyed the simplicity of the recipe. I did not peel the yellow and green squash nor did I mash them, and I used 1 tsp of garlic powder instead of chopped fresh. Otherwise made it as written. Very tasty and pretty.

Winning recipe. Simple with a big flavorful payoff. It will be difficult to eat squash any other way.

My husband, who insists that he does not like squash, ate this. I used garlic salt and gluten free bread crumb because we have a gluten intolerant family member. I also threw in one small zucchini with my three summer squash. Turned out great

Loved this! Added some cooked ground sausage before baking and sprinkled fresh shredded parmesan cheese to the top. It was delicious! Thank you for the recipe. Will be making again very soon!

Another great recipe from Kittencal. I really loved this dish. I peeled the squash and added a zucchini too. Steamed the veggies, then mashed and added the rest. I used a whole onion and added some hot garlic (combination of cayenne and garlic) which added some wonderful flavor. I did cut down on the bread crumbs and butter in the topping, but added more cheese. Had it along side of a nice steak cooked on the grill and salad. Family loved the meal! Will definitely make this again.
