Mid summer is a great time to experiment with new squash recipes. Seems like everywhere you look, there is summer squash! Here’s a creamy, tex mex take on the traditional squash casserole that comes together in a snap. Bonus: this recipe is also low carb! I used mild rotel in my recipe and it worked perfectly with the creamy ingredients to make a delicious side dish.
