MIX 'N' MATCH SQUASH CASSEROLE
Adapted from Taste of Home - I added some garlic. A good recipe for summer squash. I have to admit that my DH likes this more than I do.....not one I would give 5 stars - maybe 3 for me. I prefer more of a creamy squash casserole, but I'm glad to keep it and make it for him. :)
