2. Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine squash, onion, chiles, jalapenos, salt and 3/4 cup cheese in a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour; toss to coat. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbling and the squash is tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Spoon salsa over the casserole and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake, uncovered, until golden and heated through, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions and red onion.
Yield: 12 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Chiles and cheese turn mild summer squash into a zesty, satisfying casserole. The jalapenos make this dish quite hot; if you prefer a milder version, use a second can of diced green chiles instead.
Notes:
Make Ahead Tip
Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat, covered, at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. Garnish just before serving.

It was awesome just the way the recipe reads if you like hot
boatbuffers - June 25, 2008 06:57:38 PM PSTIf you want to tone it down a bit dont add the hot peppers just double the chilis. We also added some broken up taco shells after the salsa but before the cheese and it was great. Next time I am going to put the shells on the bottom and ground turkey under the salsa for some meat action. You have to try it!! You will love it

Spicy!
sbnurse77 - May 2, 2007 01:07:41 PM PSTThis casserole was very good but watch out...it has some serious kick to it. Next time I will only use half the jalapenos the recipe called for to tone down the "hotness". Other than that, it was yummy!
