Do you think this will freeze well?

I found a recipe and I'm curious whether or not you think I can freeze leftovers (for a quick side dish later)? Or do you think it won't work with the dairy products in it?

Two-Cheese Squash Casserole

4 pounds yellow squash, sliced
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs, divided
1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Cook squash in boiling water to cover in a large skillet 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain well; gently press between paper towels.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Remove skillet from heat; stir in squash, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and next 7 ingredients. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir together melted butter, remaining 1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of casserole.

Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until set.

Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
 
But I know my month of meals cookbook has recipes w/ sour cream that did just fine. Maybe the baking helps cover that!
Happy freezing!

I don't know but that sound yummy! I'm always looking for veggie dishes and this one looks really promising.
 
I think that the squash might get watery or mushy with freezing. I know that just reheating leftover squash dishes sometimes does this. Why not cut the recipe down?

That's what I was thinking. Probably would turn to mush if I freeze and reheat it. I am going to try the recipe even if I cut it in half and not worry about leftovers. Kids aren't big veggie casserole lovers. It's nice to have y'all to bounce ideas off of. Thanks! :flower:
