I have quite a stash of summer squash from my lovely neighbor. I even gave some to my friends, but I still have a lot! One of my favorite and go-to summer squash recipes is this low-carb casserole. It’s incredibly easy and quick to make and perfect to use up a bumper crop of summer squash.

This marvelous dish is excellent for feeding a crowd. This is also great if you are into a low-carb diet as each serving has only around 200 calories. This low-carb yellow squash casserole with taco flavor is filling as is but you can always add your preferred toppings if desired. As you already figured, I use summer squash instead of tortillas to keep this casserole keto-friendly. For the cheese, you are welcome to use a Mexican cheese blend or even pepper jack. If you love some extra kick, you can add about 2 to 3 freshly chopped green chilis to the ground beef mixture.

Put a fun twist to your usual Mexican casserole with this amazing low-carb yellow squash casserole with taco flavor. Try this soon. I’m pretty sure you’ll love every inch of this!

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef cooked and drained

2 c. summer squash, thinly sliced

2 tsp chili powder

1½ tsp paprika

14 ounces canned diced tomato

1½ tsp cumin

¾ tsp garlic salt

⅛ tsp cayenne

1 tsp onion powder

2 c. cheddar cheese, grated

½ tsp salt

How to make Low Carb Yellow Squash Casserole with Taco Flavor

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: To the cooked meat, add the canned tomato and seasonings. Let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3: To the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, place the sliced squash and top with the meat mixture, and sprinkle with grated cheese.
