My daughter, a home economist, serves the garden-fresh casserole at church functions in summer when squash is at its best. It's a good main dish for lunch or dinner.—Rose Duggins, Massie Louisa, Virginia

I had a similar recipe from 20 years ago, but I lost it. This recipe is even better. I also added pattypan squash, along with the yellow summer squash. Very, very good.
