It's squash season here on the Alabama gulf coast, so we headed out to a local u-pick farm and loaded up.
With all the fresh picked squash, I wanted to make a casserole and today was the day, to do just that. This was my first time to try this recipe and I decided to put a twist on it, so I added some bacon bits...on my that was a GREAT IDEA!!! If you try this recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Blessings,
Linda

Oh, my Grandmother used to make this, and I used to make it when I was first married. Thanks for reminding me to dig it out again, and you are a genius for adding bacon!
ReplyDeleteLooks good and that does seem to be a good twist on the same old casserole. I LOVE bacon on/in anything!

This looks so good! I a going to make it tomorrow for dinner.
ReplyDeleteAnything with cheese is always good in my book, but the thing that I like about this recipe is that it uses up six squash! I think it is much healthier than macaroni and cheese. Have you ever frozen it?
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I put sour cream in mine and cream of chicken soup too! YUM! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I decided to grow spaghetti squash in the garden this year, because I love using it as a pasta alternative. Do you think it would work for this recipe?
