This is a wonderful recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving, the whole family loved it. I used Ritz crackers in place of the bread crumbs. It is rich but very good.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. yellow summer squash, chopped
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 Tbsp. butter or
• margarine, melted
• pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
• cheese

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine the squash, water, onion and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until squash is tender. Remove from the heat; cool.

Stir in the egg, bread crumbs, butter and pepper. Transfer to a greased 1-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

What a yummy and easy recipe for summer squash! I did make a couple of changes; I didn't have bread crumbs on hand, so I used some dry stove top stuffing crumbs, which made it savory and delightfully seasoned! I also sauteed the squash and onion in a touch of butter and oil, instead of boiling it in water. I added a bit of water to the egg.

This was really tasty for a yellow squash dish (which tends to lack flavor). I did add a half teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning and cut out half the cheese. Excellent!
