I coaxed this easy (and forgiving) recipe from its maker after tasting it at a pot luck, and was surprised by its simplicity. Just a few ingredients make a delicious summer side dish for anything barbecued, grilled, or smoked - especially if the squash is home grown!

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup chopped onion
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Place the squash in a large saucepan, cover with water, and boil until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain the squash well, place in a large mixing bowl, and mash until slightly chunky. Stir in 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, onion, eggs, 1/4 cup of butter, sugar, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined, and spread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the top of the casserole with 1/4 cup melted butter, and sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs over the butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is cooked through and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour.
