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.

We really enjoyed this recipe. It had a great flavour and was easy to make. As per a reccomendation I substituted buttery cracker crumbs for the topping and it turned out great.

This is really good! I made it with 3 cups of slices zucchini since I didn't have any of the yellow squash. Instead of cooking it in water, I put it in the microwave with no water for about 3 minutes until it was tender crisp. I did add more cheese than the recipe called for, but that's a personal preference.

Easy to make. I used bread crumbs instead of cornflakes and no butter.

Used cracker crumbs in place of the cornflakes and added more cheese. Very tasty! A great alternative for using up all that summer squash!

I have a lot of good squash recipes, but I've been searching for a "great" squash casserole recipe. I just found it! This is the best one I have tried. I used buttery cracker crumbs instead of cornflakes. Didn't have cornflakes. It was great. Will make this again and again. Thanks for another great recipe.

We really liked it in our family. I put Ritz on instead of cornflakes and I put much more than 2 tablespoons! We like the crumb topping.

I love, love, love this casserole. I love the consistency and the flavor. The first time I cut up the squash for this recipe I did measure it. Two small summer squash equals 2 cups. That is what I use for my measure when I make this casserole. I have substituted Splenda for the sugar (my husband needs to avoid sugar), and this substitution works very well. Enjoy!

I am not fond of yellow summer squash. I don't think it has much flavor, but when a friend of mine gave me two small ones, I started looking for a recipe. My mom always just cooked it, then put some butter, salt & pepper on it. Boring. I tried this one the other night & I LOVE it!!!!! I've also eaten it cold at lunchtime. You bet, I'll make this recipe again. Many thanks to Katherine Metz for taking the boring out of yellow summer squash. WhateverNY
