I froze the leftovers from this casserole and they reheated well. I just thawed them in the refrigerator overnight and then baked them in the oven until heated through.

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and then baked it the next day. It was just as good.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out great. I just cooked it on low for 6 hours.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I used ground turkey instead. It turned out just as well and my family loved it.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover summer squash. I had some zucchini and yellow squash that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The casserole was delicious and my family loved it.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The casserole was creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of spice from the sausage. I served it with a side salad and it was a complete meal.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and it turned out just as well. I also added some chopped spinach for extra nutrition.

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but this casserole changed my mind. The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. I especially liked the addition of the Parmesan cheese.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The squash was tender and flavorful, and the sausage added a nice savory touch. I also loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. Will definitely be making this again.
