Irenes Yellow Squash Casserole

    I made this for the Make it Healthier challenge. Irene didn't live to be 100 by eating this! Anyway, my low-fat adjustments were: substituting 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons vegetable broth for the butter, substituting 1/2 cup low-fat mayo and 1/2 cup no-fat Greek yogurt for the regular mayo and 1/2 cup sharp cheddar for 1/2 cup 1.5% cheddar. I added 1/2 cup red pepper instead of the pimientos because I had one in the fridge. I could have added an egg substitute for the egg but I already had eggs I wanted to use up. Probably in part because I added some vegetable broth the result was a bit watery. In general, I thought the taste was a bit bland, so I decided not to give this any stars. My BF, who loves squash, liked this better than I did. I think this would have tasted much better with the full-fat adjustments, so I recommend trying it if it appeals! So sorry I couldn't rate this:(
