Squash Casseroles are one of our favorites. This squash casserole is over the top delicious with its yummy, cheesy cornbread crust! That’s right – cheese AND cornbread. OMG! Not only does this have cheese and cornbread, it also has BACON!! You can’t go wrong with a veggie side dish with bacon. Everything is better with bacon. Am I right?!?!?!
For the cornbread, you can use a packet/box of cornbread mix or use some of your leftover homemade cornbread. I have a couple of great homemade cornbread recipes on the blog if you want to use homemade. I just used a package of buttermilk cornbread mix since I had one in the pantry.
This Cornbread Crusted Squash Casserole recipes makes a ton. It would be great for a cookout, potluck and your upcoming Memorial Day celebration. You can assemble the casserole the day before serving and refrigerate it overnight. I love make ahead dishes! Especially for potlucks and parties.
