Every year I make my own throw it together squash casserole. This year I wanted to try something new. My family loved this dish. It was one of the first things gone. Easy to make too!!12/01/09

wow, delicious and easy. a definite addition to our thanksgiving menu. i followed the recipe exactly as outlined using zucchini & tatuma squash (mexican squash), and sourdough bread for the crumbs. the end result was positively delicious. my family loved it. i steamed the squash in the microwave and then added it right into pan of onion mixture. cut down on at least two things to clean (steam pan & mix bowl). so, so good, especially with a kick of red rooster hot sauce!11/28/09
