Yellow Squah Casserole!

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for different ways to prepare my "staple" veggies.  My list of staple veggies would include zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli and tomatoes. I came across this recipe on AllRecipes.com. It was so good and easy to make...

10 Servings

Ingredients
4 cups sliced yellow squash

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 35 buttery round crackers, crushed
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl.

 

 In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions. In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk, then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Notes:

*I do not have any plain buttery crackers so I used Garlic & Herb crackers. I think it added some flavor but 

next time I will add 1-2 tsp Italian seasoning and a clove of minced garlic.
