Squash Crescent Casserole by Nancy Friley

Yellow Squash

Crescent Casserole

When friends get together recipes get passed. My wife was the recipient of this one from her friend from childhood, Nancy. In the home garden, one crop that usually provides a bumper crop is squash. This is an excellent recipe to use that extra yellow, crookneck or zucchini squash in your pantry. Even kids, who usually don’t like vegetables, like this casserole. It has a unique layering of bread, spiced with hot mustard, sautéed vegetables and covered over with melted cheese.
