    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

  • 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.
  • Different brands of white sauce mixes will provide slightly different degrees of thickness, but all will work fine in this recipe.
