What grocery ‘best by’ labels really mean Southern squash succotash Bake until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.

What I like about this recipe is you can use any type of summer squash you want - crookneck like these, yellow zucchini, green zucchini, patty pan squash - whatever summer squash you have on hand. We eat our fair share of steamed vegetables (with salt and butter), but I also have no problems adding things like cheese, herbs, olive oil, garlic, and other ingredients to make people crave their vegetables! Yellow squash was one vegetable I used to not like too much, but now that I cook it in different ways, I enjoy it a lot. Like boiled soggy Brussels sprouts or canned beets with no salt, butter, or other flavors added. I think a lot of the problem with people, including adults, thinking they don't like certain vegetables stems from never having them prepared well. I'm a firm believer that vegetables dishes should be flavorful and delicious. Our kids tend to not love squash (yet), so I like to try out new ways to eat it. These bumpy crookneck yellow squash were given to us by a relative from their garden.

Gardens and CSA boxes are popping with summer squash right now. Cheesy, creamy, and a little crunchy, this yellow summer squash casserole is a delicious side dish sure to please the whole family.
