Saute until squash is tender, then coarsely mash with fork.

Add remaining ingredients. Pour in a greased casserole dish. (Top with additional cheddar, if desired) Bake about 30 minutes, covered or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Notes: Leftovers reheat well. Casserole can be prepared to the baking point then refrigerated or frozen. If frozen, let defrost before baking.
