I should know better than to listen to my wife when she says: "Don't worry about me..." when referring to our dinner plans. But I did listen and I made a spicy dish to which she opted to eat at the last minute and then made an unhappy face when the jalapenos kicked in.
When I started buying ingredients for dinner, I wanted a vegetarian meal. This is a vegetarian meal but it needs meat! It's tasty on its own but it would taste so much better if it had sautéed chicken or turkey sausage. I will make this again and I will include turkey sausage (casings removed) sautéed in one tbsp olive oil.

Spicy Squash Casserole
- 2.25 pounds of yellow squash, cut into bite-sized pieces - one cup of onion, chopped - three tomatoes, seeded and chopped - one 4oz can of diced green chiles - two tbsp of diced jalapenos - four crimini mushrooms, sliced - 1.75 cups of low-fat four cheese Mexican - 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
Combine squash, onion, tomatoes, chiles, jalapenos, and one cup of cheese in a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour and toss. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover dish, top with remaining cheese, and continue to bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
