I know, it doesn't look too appealing but boy is this good stuff. Jessie made this squash casserole last night and I only allowed myself about half a cup. I was VERY skeptical at first because I was thinking "squash........casserole.....hmmmmm??" She didn't use zucchini, only organic yellow squash. She also substituted several things such as olive oil in the place of butter and low fat sour cream instead of regular. When I tell you I wanted to steal the whole bowl, I really could have! YUMMMMMMM!!!!

Ingredients:
6 cups large diced yellow squash and zucchini
Vegetable oil

4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon House seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
