  1. Recipe says divide among 8×8 panS, but yield is only 8 servings…I’m confused. One 8×8, 2 8x8s? Just trying to figure out so I can plug into weight watchers calculator! Thanks 🙂

    1. Eight servings might be a little too much for an 8×8 pan (they are pretty hearty servings). You could split it between two pans (8×8) or put it in one 13×9.

      1. I was just going to ask if sour cream could be subbed for the mayo! So glad I read the comments 😉 Thinking I might try the yogurt instead though!

    1. Sour cream sounds wonderful! Did you use this instead of the mayo, then? Can you clarify more what you mean “lacking a sauce” – like a sauce to go on top or more “sauce-like” consistency in the actual casserole itself?

      1. if the heading is “make from frozen”
        and step #1 is : “Reheat at 250 degrees for 10 minutes.”
        -i would think it is important to mention to “thaw in fridge” before the reheating step.
        -please consider that your clients are all at different experience and knowledge levels and that all steps should be mentioned and not assumed.

        1. It does mention thaw in fridge under the instructions for cooking from frozen.

  2. I am unable to email to my home computer after pressing email button! What can I do to eliminate this problem? Thanks for your help!

    1. Hi Mollie — Our recipes do not have an email button on them. You can copy and paste a url and send it to yourself via email as a work around. Mollie, if you see an email button on your view, would you mind sending a screenshot and sending it to info@onceamonthmeals.com so we can investigate! Thanks much!

  3. A delicious casserole. Thank you.

    FYI: I accidentally stirred the crush crackers into the squash onion mixture along with the remaining ingredients. The casserole turned out perfectly. I will continue to make “this mistake” again

    1. Hi Debbie! Most freezer meals can be frozen for 3-6 months. They won’t spoil but will become less appealing with time.
