Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This is a great recipe to use when you have lots of summer squash in the garden. Pick them when they are small to medium size for the best texture.
  • tip 2
    Different brands of white sauce mixes will provide slightly different degrees of thickness, but all will work fine in this recipe.
