Posh Yellow Squash Casserole

Submitted by Phiszel

"This is such an easy recipe to make and everyone loves it. I found the recipe originally in the 'Pon Top Edisto cookbook. I have never tried this recipe with bell peppers added. That is up to the individual. I have received more compliments when I use half cheddar and half parmesan cheese together. You can't go wrong either way."

I originally saw a Posh Squash recipe in my local newspaper 8 years ago, and it has been one of my favorites ever since. This version of it is wonderful! I, too, leave out the peppers, and used half parmesan and half yellow colby. We love it! I'm always looking for good squash recipes because every year in June we are swamped with squash from our garden. This is a very easy and very tasty variation of a traditional squash casserole.
