Summer Squash Gratin

Apr 4, 2012

This dish is a tried and true family favorite. My grandmother and mom made it all the time for us growing up and now it is a favorite for my boys (well Matt at least, Sterling has turned into quite the picky eater these days.) It is so super easy to whip together and deliciously tasty. Mt grandmother would totally call this a casserole but Gratin sounds much fancier, right?? You all know I love a casserole because it can be made ahead of time and just popped in the oven at dinner. I usually serve this with grilled chicken or fish and add another veggie and you have a well rounded meal!

-1 SMALL ONION CHOPPED

  1. ummm ummm ummm this looks amazing. Skeptical of the low fat mayo. Can you notice the difference? I am an all fat mayo kind of gal.

    This sounds great!! I have a squash "gratin" (cassarole) that I have made for a while, but it lacked some "umph". Yours looks full of "umph" and I can't wait to try it out.
