CORNBREAD SQUASH CASSEROLE
This is a lovely variation of squash casserole that I have served at gatherings many a time. Always seem to get requests for the recipe when I serve it. One time I threw a 1/4 cup of leftover pumpkin puree into the squash mix and that added a pretty awesome dimension also. Hope you enjoy.
