Yellow squash casserole made with cornbread

This squash cornbread is a perfect end of summer dish – using up the last of that summer squash. It’s creamy, cheesy, and so delicious.

It’s meant to be a side dish, but I have been known to eat it as my whole meal. And I love eating the leftovers for breakfast. The addition of honey to the cornbread casserole gives it a touch of sweetness, but not overpowering.

Cornbread is always a good idea, right? I love jalapeno cheddar cornbread, cheesy cornbread zucchini muffins, and instant pot cornbread. Really, any kind of cornbread is my friend.

How to make yellow squash casserole

Start with 2 1/2 cups grated summer squash. I used yellow summer squash, but have also used zucchini with great success. Mix in some egg, milk, honey, cheese, and onion.

Fold it into a quick cornbread mixture and top with cheese. That’s it. Pop it in the oven and you will have cornbread deliciousness in under an hour.

This makes a great easy dinner or breakfast but also tastes great as a side dish next to Cheesy BBQ Bacon Chicken, Apple BBQ Ribs, or Instant Pot Baked Beans.
