Summer Squash Casserole

July 21, 2019

It’s that time of year when the garden is bursting full of color with delicious veggies and local markets are full of freshly picked produce. Squash has always been a favorite of ours here at the Farmhouse and is especially delicious in this yummy casserole. This side dish is hearty, cheesy, and perfect for summer cookouts and events. If you don’t have a garden of your own, or have a garden but did not grow squash, I highly encourage you to visit a local Farmer’s Market and pick up a handful of fresh squash to make this delectable casserole for those who gather around your own family table. Enjoy!
