Easy Squash Casserole: Classic southern comfort food, perfect for the holidays or a delicious weeknight meal!
Today I’m sharing the original recipe for my all time favorite holiday side dish. Growing up, this savory, cheesy casserole was part of every Christmas dinner, and many Thanksgivings too. With squash, herb seasoned bread, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and more, this casserole is full of delicious goodness.
If you’ve followed my blog, you may know that I developed gluten intolerance in 2015. The recipe that I’m sharing today is not gluten-free, but if you’re looking for a gluten-free version of this recipe you’re in luck!
Last year I created a gluten-free recipe that is every bit as delicious as the original. You can find the gluten-free version at www.allshecooks.com where my Gluten-Free Squash Casserole recipe is featured as a guest post!

What is your favorite holiday side dish?
I have never thought to add shredded cheese to my squash casserole; I make a very similar recipe! Sounds yummy!
I just realized this year how many variations of squash casserole are out there! I’ve even seen some that use brown sugar!
Yum, this sounds delicious! I think adding the stuffing mix with the squash is a smart way to get my kids to eat their vegetables without too much fuss. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.
It really is delicious, even for those who don’t usually like squash! Thanks for stopping by and for pinning!
