For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the casserole base. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the squash mixture for a warm, spiced flavor. Toast the vanilla wafer crumbs in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding the melted butter and brown sugar for a nuttier topping. If you don't have vanilla wafers, you can substitute graham crackers or gingersnaps. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
