Low Carb Ham and Cheese Squash Casserole
This low-carb, gluten-free ham and cheese squash Casserole is a burst of nutritious flavor and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Do you like squash?
It seems like squash is one of those foods that people either love or hate.
It also tends to be one of those homegrown vegetables that people end up with too much of.
So . . . if you like sauteed squash and have an abundance of this particular vegetable, then this is the perfect dish for you.
It is low-carb, gluten-free, and high in protein.
If you don’t like gruyere cheese, then consider a sharp cheddar cheese.
Bon appetit!
