Onion and cheddar cheese perk up the rich flavor of summer squash in this comforting casserole from Katherine Metz, Jacksonville, Florida (with husband Chuck, at right). A crispy cornflake-crumb topping adds a little crunch.

I haven't made it as yet, as I would like the Nutrition Facts!

A great idea for a way to serve squash. I used both zucchini and yellow squash. I did not boil the squash first, as we do not like mushy squash. I increased the baking time so that the squash was cooked just the way we like it. I also used bread crumbs instead of the cornflakes for the topping.

I've made this many times and have had many requests for the recipe! I even make it ahead by assembling everything but the cornflakes (you can use breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs, btw) and refrigerating until that evening. I also double/quadruple the recipe if I want to make more.

Please tell me how many cups of squash to use. Everyone's idea of "small" is different. Also, I froze some summer squash that I will be using and measured by the cup. Thank you. Connie
