Summer Squash Recipe

Old Fashioned Summer Squash Recipe

It is nearing the end of summer. If you have a garden, you are probably wondering what new summer squash recipe you can add to your repertoire. By this time of year you have certainly sauteed, grilled it and shared your abundance of summer squash with friends.

This recipe is an old-fashioned dish. I was given this recipe by a woman who is close to 90 years old, Della, and she got it from her Aunt Nell, many years ago.

Aunt Nell’s Casserole

4 – 6 medium summer squash – cut into chunks and steamed
Drain and mash squash and let cool
