This recipe was ok, I feel it's missing something, bacon or ham possibly, maybe some creole or old bay seasoning. The sauce gets a little gloopy too, maybe some velveeta would help to smooth it out.
If you are on a low carb diet as we are, just sub in pork rind crumbles for the cornflakes and use an artifitial sweetner for the sugar.
Excellent and easy. Great way to change up summer squash. Next time I’ll add cheese on top and then the cornflakes.
I made this for a recent potluck and it was creamy, cheesy and delicious. The cornflake topping makes it an attractive dish and adds a nice crunch.
This dish was so good that it was all I ate for dinner the other night. DELICIOUS !!!
Absolutely delicious! Made this for the first time tonight - will definitely be making it many more times!
Good casserole! I doubled the recipe, except for the sugar and salt, and used a heaping cup of cheese. Didn't have cornflakes, so I used butter crackers. Definitely worth a try, especially if you have an abundance of summer squash to use up!
Made this recipe with summer squash and zucchini. Added some minced garlic and used panko because I did not have corn flakes. I placed the onion and squash in a large measuring cup along with 2 tablespoons of water. Covered and vented it and microwaved it for 5 minutes. Drained it and patted it dry. I wanted a lighter dish so I skipped the egg. Baked it according to directions. I came out deliciously hot and bubbly. Loved it. Want to try the technique with cauliflower and maybe carrots!!!!
Easy and cheap to make. Several friends asked for the recipe. Added a little parmesan.
Yum! I cut up 9 small yellow squash (approx. 5-6" long) that amounted to approx. 8 c. Used 4 eggs and 1 c. mayo. I didn't have the recipe in front of me and forgot the onion and sugar, but it was just fine without it. Approx. 1 c. of cheese. Added a couple dashes of an herb blend. Didn't have cornflakes so crushed some croutons on top. It was very good!!
