Parmesan Cheese: Even though it’s not “Southwestern,” it works in this yellow squash casserole recipe because it’s a dry cheese.Cream Cheese: If you want to lighten up the casserole slightly, Neufchatel cheese will also work.Mayonnaise: If you live in the South, then you know about Duke’s! It’s our favorite and what I used here.I like to use them in this dish because they cook quickly and only add a delicate onion flavor to the delicately flavored yellow squash. Green Chiles: Almost any green chile will work–hot or mild–including canned diced green chilies if you prefer the ease and convenience.If you’re inundated with zucchini or pattypan squash, by all means, use it. Yellow / Summer Squash: Use small to medium-sized yellow squash if possible so you do not have to remove the seedy center.When cooking with butter, I always use unsalted butter because I can better control the salt level in the dish. Oil and Butter? Yes! By combining the two, you get the flavor of butter but the searing and higher temperature cooking ability of the oil.See the recipe card below for the exact quantities.
