This Old School Squash Casserole is a must at our holiday table. Everyone loves this easy make-ahead side dish! I think my favorite part of the whole casserole is the three cheeses - cheddar, swiss and parmesan. YUM!
You can make this Old School Squash Casserole a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight. I think make-ahead recipes are a must for the holidays! Nobody wants to spend all day in the kitchen. You want to be able to spend time with your family and relax.
The most important step in this recipe is to drain the onion and squash after cooking. You want to make sure as much of the liquid is removed before adding the rest of the ingredients. If you don't drain the cooked squash, the casserole will be too runny.
We love this Old School Squash Casserole! It is so simple to make and tastes great!! It will make a great addition to your holiday meal.
