Description

My grandmother's cornbread squash casserole is a cheesy side dish that's eagerly anticipated, especially around the holidays!

Ingredients

cooking spray with flour
2 cups chopped yellow squash
3 cups crumbled prepared cornbread
1/2 (23 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 large egg
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a medium baking dish with floured cooking spray.
2 Place squash in a pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
3 Drain squash and transfer to a bowl. Add crumbled cornbread, condensed soup, 1/2 cup Cheddar, onion, celery, margarine, egg, sugar, sage, salt, and pepper; mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Top with remaining Cheddar and continue baking until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
