    I used Olive oil instead of butter and for a lil more flavor I also put a dash of sage and poultry seasoning. I also used chicken broth instead of water.

    This is honestly a great recipe… I make my own cornbread on the side to cut back on sugar…and I use a higher corn meal to flour ratio.
    Other than that, this recipe is spot on. It’s so forgiving.
    I have always used sharp cheddar. I mix some in with the squash and put a lot on the top…and I take little pinches of it and stuff it randomly in the casserole so there’s always a good bite of cheese in every serving!
    Being creative, I have also made a vegan version to this!
    Thank you for the recipe! MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

    This isn’t Boston Market Squash Casserole, this is Cheesy Goodness. If you haven’t tried this you don’y know what your missing!!!

    I use the recipe for Boston Market corn bread instead of just the jiffy mix! That recipe makes enough for two batches of this casserole, it freezes nicely. Now it’s an exact match! Their secret is the yellow cake mix…

    This totally tastes just like Boston Markets. I halved the recipe and realized that you can probably use less butter, but amazing taste, a definite a repeat recipe.

      It feeds about 8-10 people if you’re doing a healthy serving size (1/2 cup maybe), but my husband can eat half of it by himself – he loves it that much. So 6 people if the servings are bigger (1-1 1/2 cups). We always have left over, but I did make it in shallow baking pans once for a party – got 3 pans out of it, party of 20 people ate it.

    I’ve been making this for about 7 years now. The only difference is that I use only yellow squash and cut out the zucchini all together. I cannot tell you how often I get requests for this dish. Anytime there’s a potluck, I am asked to bring this. I actually get requests from passengers who ride my husband’s bus to please make this so he can share it them. It is addicting and a fantastic addition to our Thanksgiving dinners every year.
