Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer to slice the yellow squash nicely and thinly.
- Slice the squash uniformly with a sharp knife. This helps it to cook evenly, so you don't end up with some pieces undercooked while others are too soft.
- Taste the mixture before baking and adjust seasonings as needed.
- After baking, allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to set so you can serve it easily.
- Sautéing the squash before baking removes excess moisture, intensifies the flavor, and gives it a better texture.
- There are 7 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this Yellow Squash Casserole.
- Storage - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
