I got this recipe from my grandmother. It is one of my favorites and to top it off easy!

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked squash, mashed
  • 1 large onion, chopped (I use onion flakes)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup butter (I don't use as much butter)
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8-10 crackers, finely crumbled
  • salt & pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook squash and onion until tender; drain.
  2. 2
    Mash until fine.
  3. 3
    Add salt, pepper, cheese, butter, egg yolks, milk and crackers.
  4. 4
    (I have just added onion flakes to this mixture instead of cooking the onion and squash together. Just personal preference.) Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
  5. 5
    Pour into buttered casserole; bake at 350 degrees, until brown and firm (about 30 minutes).
  6. 6
    Serve hot.

I doubled the recipe and then added an extra pound of squash. I also used other suggestions for the cracker topping. It all fit in a square casserole. I suggest that the recipe be modified to accomodate a larger dish because when I cooked it it barely fed 10. Otherwise it was PERFECT.

    I was looking for something different and I came across this casserole. It was a great hit but I should have doubled it because everayone was wanting more.

    We loved this squash casserole recipe. It was the first time I had made one and it turned out great. I doubled the recipe with no problems. I used frozen yellow squash that I thawed and then I sauteed my squash and onions in 1/8 c. of the butter that the recipe stated. I added a dash of a seasoning spice blend for a little added flavor to the squash and onions while they were cooking. Next time, I will probably dice my squash before I saute them with the onions. Then I mashed the squash and onions when they were tender. The only other thing I did different was to add a cracker crum topping to the casserole at the last 5 - 10 minutes of the baking time. I crushed approx. 20 Ritz crackers and mixed them with 2 T. of melted butter. Several people went back for second helpings!! Thanks for a great recipe!

    Absolutely wondeful. I was looking for a recipe like this because I remembered a relative always had it at Thanksgiving when I was a kid. This was so yummy, my fiance, whom has an auversion to squash actually got caught getting a second helping. The only thing I changed is that I used EXTRA sharp cheddar which I thought really added more of the cheedar flavor. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
