Who needs another Squash Casserole recipe, RAISE YOUR HAND!! **raises her hand** I am always looking for a good squash dish because I love squash & zucchini and it is just easy to put together and bake.
I know I have made this before but for some reason this recipe is great! But I have put squash, zucchini, onion and cheese together before? I don’t understand why this one is so different? Even one of the Guinea Pigs kept coming back for more and more and more….
The only thing I guess that was so big of a difference is the fact that this one has flour, milk and an egg yolk mixed in so it feels like a dressing/sauce kind of thing going on. Well of course that is going to make a big difference but I didn’t think it would make that big of a difference but it did! LOL
Anyway, going to use this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. I am sure everybody will love it. Hope you enjoy. Oh and once again this comes from my favorite site Just a Pinch (original recipe) and the Lightly Salted cook Wendy Pitts submitted this Blue Ribbon winning recipe.
