summer casserole

I was not excited when my boyfriend came home with the idea of making a casserole for dinner - casseroles to me sound so heavy and wintery. Of course I was wrong to doubt The Man, and the casserole was incredibly flavorful, satisfying but light and bright. I also loved that the squash and zucchini were mashed in with the potatoes, again circumventing the cooked texture of summer squash that I don't always like.

Layer 1: mashed potato, yellow squash and zucchini
Layer 2: Korean short ribs (meat only, of course)
Layer 3: shelled snap peas, sweet corn and carrots
Layer 4: A blend of Italian cheeses and panko breadcrumbs
