Southern Squash Casserole

Hey, y'all! Do you have squash out the wazoo? So often this time of year, that's the case - but, luckily for me, I love it! While I enjoy sautéed squash, my favorite way to eat it is in my southern squash casserole. Add cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise to something -- and you've got magic! I hope y'all enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Southern Squash Casserole

This southern squash casserole is creamy, rich, and decadent. While it's better to use squash from the garden or the farmers market, you absolutely can purchase squash from the store if it's out of season.
