I've made this squash casserole for years. The only difference in the recipe I use is the addition of a can of drained, sliced water chestnuts. It's not as crazy as it sounds...just adds a little surprise crunch. A delicious recipe that's sure to become a family favorite.

Excellent, this is the best tasting squash casserole. I like it because you can actually taste the squash and the other ingredients don't overpower it.

This is a wonderful recipe. I did just use 1 egg and 1 tsp sugar. I had never tried mayonnaise or sugar in a sqaush casserole so I was alittle nervous of the outcome but it didn't seem to change the taste. It was delicious!! I love the crispy cracker topping too. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
