George's Tips | Cut down on the cooking time by lightly boiling, steaming, or sautéing the yellow squash before baking until nearly tender. Simply bake until cheese is melted.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups peeled and cubed yellow squash
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup finely chopped raw almonds
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil-butter mixture until softened, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

For a creamy casserole, use heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk.
To add more flavor, sauté the onion and garlic in butter before adding them to the casserole.
If you don't have any yellow squash, you can use zucchini instead.
To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Serve the casserole with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.
