Remaking a family favorite recipe

I’m afraid that squash (at least the yellow variety) often gets a bad rap. You say “squash casserole” and it may bring up memories from your childhood that you would rather forget.

But in my case, Squash Casserole was something my sister and I requested often.

I’m sure the reason we requested it was because to us, my Mom's recipe tasted like pizza! In fact, we actually called it “Pizza Casserole.” True story!

It tasted like pizza because of the Italian seasonings and the mozzarella cheese used in the recipe.

So on nights when it was just the girls at home, my Mom would sometimes make this easy casserole for us to enjoy.

The traditional version of the casserole uses canned biscuits, both in the bottom of the dish, and on top.

I knew you guys would be interested in squash recipes during the summertime, so I asked my Mom if she still had the original recipe.

Unfortunately, she could not locate it, so we had to try to remember how to assemble it, and I changed some ingredients to make it Trim Healthy Mama friendly (and low carb)!

Easy Cheesy Squash Casserole

And now we have this Cheesy Yellow Squash Casserole that tastes just like I remembered, except now, it is friendly to my waistline!

There is no need for a sour cream or mushroom soup based sauce in this recipe because of the amount of cheese.

And guess what? You don’t even have to saute the squash before baking! I just slice it raw and layer it with the cheese. (I don't even peel it!) The squash is perfectly tender after baking.

Low Carb Biscuit Topping

Now, about the low carb biscuit topping . . . these biscuits work great as a side dish on their own as well!

I love to use the Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend in these biscuits, but no worries if you do not have the blend!

You can also use an equal mix of almond flour, coconut flour, and flax meal in place of the Baking Blend. The biscuits will still taste great!

The Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese can easily be substituted as well. I think this dish would taste great with shredded Gouda!

If you wanted to turn this low carb casserole into a full meal, I’m sure you could add some cooked chicken to bump up the protein count a bit.

However, if you use the Baking Blend, it is higher in protein, giving this casserole 17 grams of protein per serving!

Serve it with a side salad, some fresh cucumbers or roasted green beans, and you have a delicious, family-friendly meal.

Assembling the casserole is so easy - I just layer the squash, seasoning, and cheese several times, then drop the biscuits on top.

Then it is ready to go in the oven, (and you can sit down and prop up your feet for 40 minutes)!
