This zucchini and squash au gratin is an amazing side dish and cooks up so quickly that it won't heat up your kitchen. For an even better taste, smoke it in the smoker!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Squash is hard to dislike and with this zucchini and squash au gratin, it's near impossible. The freshness of the zucchini and yellow squash is accented (not hidden) by the addition of cream and cheese. Shallots and garlic are sauteed in butter and add a sweet onion flavor to the side dish.
