Recipe: Squash Casserole

[Guest guest]

Squash Casserole

 

3 yellow squash

1/2 small onion finely minced

Bread crumbs from 3 pieces of loaf bread

approximately 5 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 c. butter or margarine

1 egg or preferably egg substitute

Milk - little less than 2 c.

salt & pepper

 

Cut squash into thin slices. Butter 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Start

a layer with squash; sprinkle with cheese, bits of butter/margarine

and bread crumbs. Make 3 layers. Don't put bread crumbs on the top

layer.

 

Mix/Beat egg and milk. Slowly pour liquid over entire casserole. Dot

with butter/margarine. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

 

Half way through baking, remove casserole from oven and sprinkle

remaining bread crumbs on top and dot with butter.

 

*Preferably make your own bread crumbs. Bread crumbs from a bag can

be used.

Note: minced garlic or garlic powder would also be good in this dish.

This sounds wonderful, as did your southern style stuffing

recipe. I saw a friend on another list, who is from the

south, telling of her squash casserole. It was very

similar to this, but your version was way healthier and

from the prep-notes I bet it tastes better. I wanted to ask

though, is this sort of casserole a traditional southern

squash dish for the holidays? I was raised in the north

and typically we had as our squash dish a mashed orange

squash, like an acorn puree.

Anyway, just curious as I have never seen a recipe like this

mentioned in relation to a holiday meal and ths week I

have seen it twice. I definately must try it soon. Thanks!

Yeah, it was wonderful day and evening. Squash casserole is usually

on the table for Thanksgiving & Xmas. I've always found it to be

strange that I've never been to a family thang where Butternut squash

or acorn squash was served in any form. I guess b/c sweet potato

casserole is always present. Many people boil or saute the squash

first and then push it through a colander or mash it up before

putting it into a casserole. I prefer to 'see' the pieces of squash.

You can use crackers instead of bread crumbs. I always have bread

crumbs and croutons around b/c that's how I make use of stale bread.

 

I really enjoyed your Turkey story. There are a few around where we

live now. Their little ones are cute too.

Have a good evening all,

karen
