I got this delicious squash recipe from my MIL. It is 100% belly-rubbin' goodness. Works well in double portion too.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs (saltine, ritz, or other)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 lb squash* (unpared and shredded)
1 1/2 tsp onion (chopped)
1 egg (beaten)
1 1/2 tsp salt**
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese*** (shredded)
Instructions:
Mix crackers and butter (set aside 1/2 cup)
Mix cracker mixture with remaining ingredients and place in a 1 1/2 quart, greased casserole dish. Top with 1/2 cup cracker mix. Bake @350F approximately 1 hour.
* good with just zuccini, but I usually use a medley of squash types. My favorites are summer, 8-ball, and papaya pear.
** if the crackers are salted, I cut back on the salt.
*** other cheeses work well too. My favorite is pepper jack. That kicks it up a notch.
