The casserole was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I substituted ground turkey. It turned out great!

This is a great recipe for using up summer squash. I added some chopped zucchini and it was also delicious.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors of the summer squash, sausage, and cheese blended perfectly. I also loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. I'll definitely be making this again.
