Squash and Spinach Casserole

Y'all. 

This is GOOD.

A storm system has planted itself over us here in the Ozarks of Arkansas.  We've received a flood-causing number of inches since Friday night.  The days are dark.  I had to set the ISO on my camera at approximately 9 jillion.  So please excuse the grainy photos.

I started in on this recipe and then decided to blog about it.  So, before you can get to my photo steps...

You'll want to dice up an onion. 

Then, slice two yellow squash in half lengthwise.  Then, cut each half...in half.  (Quarter the squash).  Then, cut the squash crosswise into half-inch slices. 

Confused yet?  Good!  :)

Thaw some frozen spinach.  SQUEEZE it as dry as you can.

Saute the onion in some olive oil until soft.  Toss in the squash, spinach, and seasonings. 

You'll end up with something like this...

Add some prepared cornbread,

mix it all up.

Then stir in a can of Cream of Mushroom soup.

Next, mix in a cup of shredded cheese.

(This is Monterey Jack.  You can use your favorite type.)

Spread it in a greased baking dish,

top with a 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese

AND

a 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, until the cheese is yummy and brown.

Open up and say "aaaaaahh!"
