Nana's Squash Casserole Recipe

Squash isn't our enemy, y'all!

When Daddy and I first started dating it was a bit of a shock to my system to eat dinner at his house.  Nana has always been a phenomenal cook, but for the longest time I was a fairly picky eater, I know such a shock.  Green beans aren't even an option for me and I didn't go near things like squash or butter beans, much less something called a purple hull pea!?

Thankfully they wore me down and I grew to love some of their southern staples. I have especially enjoyed adding Nana's Squash Casserole recipe to my collection.  In true Teresa fashion I have made some *very* slight modifications over the years.  I am including a photo of Nana's recipe that is printed in the St. Francis cookbook.  Nana worked at St. Francis as a pharmacist.

This is one of those dishes that isn't at all what you think it will be and is truly a crowd pleaser at the Holidays.  I am so glad I tried it all those years ago and I hope one day y'all will as well!
