For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Cheddar cheese. If you prefer a lighter casserole, you can substitute Greek yogurt for some of the mayonnaise. To prevent a soggy casserole, ensure the squash is thoroughly drained after cooking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread crumbs and check that your French fried onions are gluten-free.
