Cheesy Squash... Veggies Done Right.

   
   Alright you Brutes, its been a while since I gave you somethin good to eat so here you go.  I made this on Easter for a family get together and it turns out it was a hit.  Its got a good helpin of squash and onions in there for the health conscious and a mess of cheese and sour cream to make it taste good.  This recipe is good for a get together cause it feeds about 12.  If you don't need that much just cut it in half.  Good luck and Good Eatin!!!
