For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the bell pepper and onion in the butter before adding them to the squash mixture. Feel free to substitute other types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for the pecans. If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs or crushed crackers will also work well. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
