Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack.
- If you prefer a softer squash texture, you can pre-cook the squash by boiling or steaming it for a few minutes before adding it to the casserole.
- Freshly grated cheese will melt better and provide a superior taste.
