Nana's Squash Casserole

We grow different varies of squash in our garden each summer and I love making fresh casseroles of squash for a meal. I have been making this recipe for years and through those years I have changed it in different ways, but the combination of ingredients that I am sharing with you today is one of my favorites. This Squash Casserole has a very rich creamy inside and a buttery crunchy topping, it is just delicious!
