MEXICAN SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE



Mexican Summer Squash Casserole image

This is a hearty vegetable casserole with a Mexican flair and with the addition of leftover/cooked chicken, it can become a great dinner casserole. The heat can easily be varied by changing the amount of green chiles, adding jalapenos, or by adjusting the amount of spice in the salsa.

Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 ¼ pounds unpeeled yellow squash, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 pound peeled zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
2 ½ cups shredded, reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers, drained
⅔ cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup mild or medium salsa
1 tablespoon finely sliced green onion, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine yellow squash, zucchini, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, chile peppers, onion, and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour and toss to coat. Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and casserole is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and discard foil. Spread salsa on top and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until golden and heated through, about 20 minutes more.
  • Garnish with green onions just before serving.

MEXICAN STYLE SQUASH MEDLEY



Mexican Style Squash Medley image

This is an old family recipe. We cooked it without measuring ingredients so I had to stop and weigh and measure in order to post it! Not hot spicy, but a different and flavorful way to cook summer produce and it is even better the next day (if it lasts that long).

1 teaspoon chili powder
