Don’t overcook the squash. Overcooked squash can become mushy and lose its flavor. To avoid this, make sure to cook the squash until it is tender but still retains some texture. Roast the squash for more depth: If you have a bit more time, roast the squash cubes instead of sautéing. It concentrates the flavor and keeps the squash from getting mushy. For the best melty topping, shred your own cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded (which has anti-caking agents). Try mixing cheddar with Monterey Jack for extra creaminess. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. If you love a good crunchy topping, sprinkle the top of the squash casserole with breadcrumbs. Don’t forget to add more cheese and herbs for added flavor. Bake until golden brown. To achieve a delicious and crispy topping, bake the casserole until it is golden brown. This not only adds to the texture of the casserole but also enhances the flavor.
