This classic Southern-style squash casserole recipe is the one you're always looking for. It's got yellow squash, cheese, and eggs, and is covered with a buttery cracker crumb topping.
Ingredients
- 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
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 20 round buttery crackers, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
Instructions
- 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.
