For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or Monterey Jack cheese instead of Cheddar. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the squash mixture for added depth. If you want to freeze this dish, bake it first, let it cool completely, then wrap it well and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. For a crispy topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.

01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepBring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the sliced yellow squash and cook until very tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the squash thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl. Mash until relatively smooth. (20 minutes)

StepIn a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-10 minutes. (10 minutes)
04
StepIn the bowl with the mashed squash, combine the cooked onion, cream of mushroom soup, Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, milk, mayonnaise, sugar, and beaten eggs. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepSpread the squash mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. (2 minutes)
06
