Squash and Zucchini Casserole
PREP TIME: 20 Min
COOK TIME: 30 Min SERVINGS: 5
INGREDIENTS
2 medium yellow squash
2 large zucchini
1 Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 cups grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup butter, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cut the zucchini and squash into long, thin layers.
Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish and layer the squash, zucchini, onion and tomatoes into the baking dish.
Sprinkle with cheese and add pats of butter between each layer of vegetables, and season each layer with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Continue this layering process until all the vegetables are used up and top this off with the remaining butter and cheese.
Cover and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are to desired tenderness and cheese is melted and bubbly. (You might want to put a cookie sheet or something under this dish as it bakes, because it sometimes bubbles over.)
