Summer Squash Casserole with Nuts image

This is a recipe that my Southern mother-in-law gave to me, her Yankee daughter-in-law! Zucchini or yellow summer squash may be used together, or interchangeably to create this delicious casserole! Use bread crumbs, crushed crackers or cheese for the topping.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for. I used cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan cheese.

I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The casserole was still delicious.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover squash. I always have some leftover squash after I make soup or roasted squash, and this is a great way to use it up.
