Ultimate Recipe Swap: Squash Casserole

This recipe was given to me by my friend Julie and I think it originally came from Southern Living. I have also used Zucchini in this recipe and it was very good.

Squash Casserole

• 3lbs. Yellow Squash


• 5 tablespoons Butter or Margarine


• 1 small onion chopped (about 1/2 cup)


• 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese


• 2 Large Eggs, lightly beaten


• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise


• 2 teaspoons sugar


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 20 Ritz Crackers

Cook squash in boiling water to cover in a large skillet for 8-10 minutes. Drain well. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in skillet over medium-high heat ; add onion and saute 5 minutes or until tender. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in squash, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, sugar & salt. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11 x 7 baking dish. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir together melted butter and crushed Ritz crackers. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until set.
