Notes

Expert tips for making squash casserole
  1. Start by pre-cooking the squash in a pan rather than boiling it.  This will help reduce the moisture in the squash and help keep the casserole from being watery.
  2. Drain the can of tomatoes and chilies well- to help reduce moisture in the casserole.
  3. Use sharp cheese for best flavor.
