SQUASH CASSEROLE

Category: Squash

2 lbs yellow summer squash, trimmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 small sweet onion, such as Vidalia, peeled and diced
1 tsp salt (divided use)
1 large egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 ts[black pepper
1/2 cup crushed butter crackers, such as Ritz (about 12 crackers)

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

Place the sliced squash and the onion in a medium saucepan with about a cup of water and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and cool.

Put the squash into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer; the mixture should remain kind of chunky. Add the egg, mayonnaise, cheese, remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper and mix until combined. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared dish, top with the crumbs and bake for 30 minutes. Serves 12
