By jasonhewitt

Ingredients

• 5 Lbs Medium-Sized Yellow Squash
• 2 Eggs, Beaten
• 1 1/2 C to 2 C Bread Crumbs (See Note)
• 4 Oz (1 Stick) Butter or Margarine
• 1/4 C Sugar
• Salt to Taste
• 2 Tbs Chopped Onion
• Grated Cheese
• Dash of Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut off tips of squash, then cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces. Drop squash into a large saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to a boil, reduce heat and cook until tender. Drain squash in colander, then place in a large bowl and mash.

Stir in eggs, crumbs, butter, cheese, sugar, salt, onion and pepper. Spoon mixture into a 3 quart casserole sprayed with Pam. Sprinkle a light layer of bread crumbs on top. Bake until lightly browned, 30 – 40 minutes.

NOTE: Best if made with Black Eyed Pea’s whole-wheat rolls (about 3 needed, plus more for topping).
