The farm stands are packed with late summer harvests. Take advantage of the bounty with Southern two cheese squash casserole with a savory, crispy topping.
One of my fondest memories is of my Mom and my Aunt cooking in the kitchen together. I remember Mom making yellow squash in the skillet, smothering it with Swiss cheese and topping with bread crumbs. Even though they are both gone, I make that dish often when I just have me to cook for and I need a little comfort food.
This classic casserole published by Southern Living has the same elements as my Mom’s dish, but baked into a hearty side that the whole family can enjoy. They recommend two cheeses. Cheddar for melty richness and parmesan for a salty, nutty topping.
Personally, I would add some Swiss for added tang and just because it reminds me of Mom:) I think I’ll make some this weekend and keep it all for me.
