Summer is the perfect time to make this casserole. The squash is fresh (maybe from your garden?) and its flavor is at its peak. This makes a lovely vegetarian supper when paired with a green salad with vinaigrette!
3 pounds yellow squash, sliced
5 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
20 round buttery crackers, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
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 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat; add onion, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove skillet from heat; stir in squash, cheese, and next 4 ingredients. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Stir together melted butter and crushed crackers; sprinkle evenly over top of casserole.
Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.

I could use a new squash recipe. This looks like a good everyday recipe, rather than what is eaten at Thanksgiving.
It’s one of my favorites! I’m glad you like it too!! 🙂

This looks like something even my kids would eat. I forwarded it to my husband, the cook!
It is definitely kid friendly!! 🙂
