Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Wash and slice 4 cups of yellow squash.
    Chop 1/2 cup of bell pepper for a pop of color and flavor, and 1/2 cup of onion.
  • In a large skillet, melt half of the stick of butter over medium heat.
    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they're soft.
  • To the skillet, add the sliced squash and continue to cook until the squash is tender.
  • Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large bowl.
    Stir in 1 cup of mayonnaise and mix with the squash mixture until well combined.
  • Grease your casserole dish with the remaining butter.
    Spread the squash mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
    Sprinkle 2 cups of grated cheese over the top.
  • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven.
    Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    Serve warm alongside a green salad for a complete meal.
