    I thought this was good but next time would change a few things to make it even better. I used smoked sharp cheddar because i had it on hand and it gave the dish great flavor, next time I would probably add a full cup. Also, I would add more garlic and some fresh basil. I used only yellow squash because that's what I had from the garden. Overall, nice texture and consistency, I will make it again.

    This was the BEST squash recipe I have ever had. My husband could not get enough of it. I cut the quantity down to 1/2 except for the cracker crumbs and cheese and only used the yellow squash (no zucchini. It was even great left over the next day. Will be a staple in our house.

    My children do not like squash or zucchini but they both ate this dish and they loved it. I added more cheese than required because of the kids. My husband who refuses to eat veggies ate this and asked for more!

    But I still REALLY loved this! I don't think I'd like the texture eggs would add to it so I will leave them out when I make this again. I also added 1/2 cup more cheese and increased hot sauce to 4 dashes. Mushy? Not for me, but remember, you ARE supposed to partially mash the veggies (and thoroughly drain them so they're not crunchy.

    This was such a delicious and simple recipe. The crackers add a lot to it. It's hard finding a yummy dish with all this squash but this is definitely it. Will definitely make this one again.

    You must really drain the vegetables though. Mine wasn't mushy at all! Could do with a little less butter when cooking the onions.

    This casserole is so good, I could eat the whole thing by myself!

    I never made something with one of these yellow squashes before, but this was a lovely recipe. Perfectly light texture, great blend of flavors, made the kitchen smell awesome. I grated some habanero cheddar cheese we had, in place of the cheese/hot sauce, and it worked out great! Also added a little fresh thyme from the garden. I don't understand how anyone had trouble with mushiness unless they didn't fully drain the cooked squash. They should tell you that you should scoop out the seeds, FYI!: We'll be having a lot of this over the summer! I think the leftovers will be good with a little red sauce.

    I'm not sure why this recipe has bad reviews. I was looking for something simple I could make with what I had on hand. I had to make a few modifications such as bread crumbs instead of crackers and using two cheeses to make up for what I was lacking. It wasn't mushy at all like some said, maybe they didn't mash the squash to drain it? It's got great flavor given the simple ingredients. Maybe those who didn't like it should adjust the salt, pepper and hot sauce. Oh, I also used an Asian garlic chili sauce instead of regular hot sauce. Tasted better and healthier than most restaurant versions.

    This was so disappointing. I have no idea why it is rated so high. The vegetables are mushy and the eggs make it mushier. It was very bland.
