I have made this recipe countless times. My husband raves every time. This is our favorite way to eat zucchini and yellow squash.

This one beats out the traditional Squash Casserole, although very tasty, "by a mile".

This has become a family favorite. It has replaced the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner. My husband is not a fan of vegetables and he still likes this recipe -- alot.

Loved it! I'm thinking about adding French Fried Onion to it next time.
