Method
 

Step 1: Cook the squash
  1. I start by boiling the sliced squash in lightly salted water for about 8–10 minutes until tender. Drain it well and let it cool slightly so excess moisture doesn’t water down the casserole.

Step 2: Prepare the creamy mixture
  1. In a large bowl, I mix sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Then I fold in the cooked squash gently so it stays intact.

Step 3: Add the cheeses
  1. Next, I stir in cheddar, Monterey Jack, and half of the Parmesan cheese. This is where the casserole really starts to smell amazing.

Notes

I love serving this squash casserole alongside roasted chicken, meatloaf, or grilled pork chops.
