Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
For a richer flavor, consider using Gruyere or a blend of Cheddar and Parmesan cheese for the topping.
If you prefer a smoother casserole, you can lightly mash some of the squash after cooking.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the squash mixture for a hint of spice.
To add more flavor, saute some garlic with onion before adding yellow squash.
