Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini and yellow squash: Fresh vegetables will give your casserole the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
  • Grate the zucchini and squash coarsely: This will help them to cook evenly and will also create a more tender texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so don't skimp on it. Use a sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Season the casserole well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings to your taste. Try garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Top the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed crackers: This will give it a nice crispy topping.
