I even added in two cheeses and broccoli .
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is GREAT! It tastes JUST like my moms'. The only difference is that I use velveeta shredded cheese and velveeta sliced... sandwich cheese instead of just one regular cheese. It gave it two elements of cheeses. And I added broccoli in with the squash. I LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!! :-D :-)Read more

I didn't use as much onion, and I think that to dry the squash she means PAPER towel, I put a paper towel in a collander then... the squash and it worked out perfect....Very yummy and tasty! Cant wait to make it again!Read more

Expat in the Netherlands

We love zucchini (or coughette as the Dutch call it), so I am always happy to try a new squash recipes. I made this hot dish... for dinner and my husband and I loved it. I followed the directions as stated and it was fairly simple to make. I just so happened to have a box of Ritz crackers on hand, as I brought it back my last trip home to the US. I found that placing the zucchini mixture in a strainer for a few minutes allowed all the juice to drain so it was not watery. The dish turned out delish and is now in my keeper file to alternate with my other squash recipes. Thank you Ms. Deen for a great recipe. Read more

Bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I found this casserole to be bland. Using a towel to squeeze out moisture was messy; there should be an easier way to do it.

"OH MY GOOODNESS PAULA"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Dearest Paula, Even being handicapped from a most recent accident. I wanted to treat my parents of whom I live with; just... yesterday was their 46th wedding anniversary. And for my first time ever, I made your Uncle Bubba's Squash Casserole. Scrumptious is the only way to say what it taste like. Now it took me some time to prepare this casserole.Especially being forced to make use of my left hand only. Wow!!! People just don't know what it's like to cook with only one hand unless their in that same boat as I...I most recently under went surgery to repair my rotator cuff on January 29th of this year. Then in mid April,l had fainted after getting out of bed in the middle of the night. Upon fainting, my repaired shoulder ripped through my bedroom wall. And in doing so, I tore my tendon near my freshly repaired rotator cuff. Needless to say. On July 15th,2009 I underwent a 2nd surgery for further repairs. But during this surgery the surgeon was unaware of infection that was in the shoulder at the time of surgery. So at this time I'm currently wearing an I.V. Pump- in which is attached to a PICC - Line in my only arm that I have use of. In order to congratulate my parents 46Th Wedding Anniversary, I went to the Super Wal~Mart near where we live. And while there I purchased a nice sized Corned Beef, and some Small Red Bliss Potatoes. Along with all the ingredients to make this squash casserole. I've got to hand it to you Mrs. Deen. This turned out very well. And my parents loved it. And I like you added more butter to my casserole than stated on the recipe. But last to add to say to you, I'm whupped..... Sincerely, Ronnie L.

Very very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this today, and I have to say I really loved it. 1/2 onion is more than enough, 1 large onion tends to overpower the... squash. Also, I sliced my squash and zucchini, I find that easier and doesn't make a difference. 1 sleeve of crackers is all i used for the topping. Next time I will use a bit more cheese. Read more
