Tender squash, gooey cheese and crunchy crackers make this a memorable side dish or a hearty main course. This is a great dish that can be made with low-fat ingredients and is still just as good! Pumpkin and cheese and always on my shopping list in the fall and winter. And they get replaced with onion and yellow squash in spring and summer. Though not as sweet as their fall cousins, their flavor is mild and easy to incorporate into lots of dishes. But I also love them enough to want to make them the star sometimes.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. butter
ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
35 buttery round crackers, crushed
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cups sliced yellow squash

Method

01

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
02

Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl.
03

In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions. In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk, then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper.
04

Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
05

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
