Buttery, Crunchy Summah Squash Casserole

You can use zucchini in place of summer squash, depending on what you have on hand.

"A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it." ~Anonymous

We are still overloaded with summer squash over here in Duggan Valley. Looking for new ways to cook it, I decided to alter a Thanksgiving favorite of mine, the broccoli casserole. I have to say that the broccoli version is better than the squash one, but both are really good. Since it's been so hot I waited to cook this until the sun went down and then reheated it for dinner the next night. I think giving the flavors time to meld makes it even better.
