Submitted by didyb

"We always have yellow squash and zucchini available- so like to use it when we can. I was trying to make the casserole a little lighter than those made with cream of... soup. Hope you like it!!"

Yummy and easy. I made a few slight changes with what I had on hand. I used 1/4 c. finely chopped onion, added a little of my fresh rosemary and I didn't have any herbed croutons so I used a cup of herbed bread crumbs for the cheese mixture. I also sprinkled some cherry tomotoes on top while it bake and added just a little more shredded cheese. It turned out great!!

I am not a vegetable lover, but this recipe is tremendous! Yes, the cheese croutons help, but even the squash really comes to life in taste. Great to try.
