     Let me ask you a few questions:
  • Are you a mom who wants to sneak more veggies into your family's meals?  
  • Are you ready for some comfort food that also covers all of the food groups?  
  • Do you want a one pot meal that is easy and keeps down the number of pots, pans and dishes you have to clean-up?  
  • Are you tired of the same old way that you prepare that yellow squash?
  • Do you love potato casserole but you want it to be a little healthier?
     If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then this recipe is for you! 

     One pot meals are so great.  They are usually warm and comforting and delicious, plus the
clean-up is so much easier and the prep is usually easier as well.  My husband loves packing casseroles in his lunch for work, so I always make big casseroles so that we have leftovers.
     Potato casserole has long been a favorite around here, but I had some yellow squash that I wanted to use, so I decided to experiment with it since we are trying to add more veggies to our diet.
I realize that this recipe has a lot of fat.  I did cut back the original recipe to 1/4 c. of butter instead of 1/2 cup.
​     Also, I didn't precook the squash, but you could if you wanted to.  I kind of like the slight crunch along side of the soft potatoes.  Here are a few other variations that you can use:
  • Sometimes, instead of boiling the potatoes, I just bake them in the microwave and then slice them up. You can even leave on the skins.  I guess if you boil the potatoes, this is technically a 2 pot meal.
  • You can use a bunch of green onions instead of a white or yellow one.
  • You could add other veggies, like corn or peas or cauliflower. 
  • Instead of topping it with cheese, you could use breadcrumbs.
  • You don't even have to add the bacon or whatever, but it does add a nice flavor.
I use this 5 quart casserole dish for my casserole.  I have had it for 38 years!  I love it because it is big, deep and has a lid! You can bake with the lid on or off, but when you want to store it in the fridge, you can just pop on the lid and you don't have to worry about plastic wrap or anything.  Covered casseroles are the best.  Best of all, you can still purchase this one on Amazon!

I was so excited to eat this that I forgot to take a picture until I had already started serving it!
