Out of all the TaylorMade Market Daily Special dishes we made in the cafe, Baked Cheesy Squash Casserole was always the first to go. I had customers that would call just to see if it was available and ask to hold a side for them. I know I will probably receive some hate mail after some of you read the ingredients in this recipe. Butter, cheese, half-and-half—but man it’s worth every calorie.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the squash and onion with sugar until barely soft, approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add Cheddar, breadcrumbs and eggs. Stir to combine.
In the same pan you sautéed the squash, melt butter then add flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in half-and-half (or milk) and cook another minute until smooth and thick. Add the roux to the squash mixture. Mix everything together. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and top with panko. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Really enjoyed this, just enough cheese flavor without it being all about the cheese. Thanks for sharing!
I made this for our 4th of July cookout and people went crazy, it is the best squash casserole.
