Here's a good one I have used in the past...

Ingredients
4 cups sliced yellow squash
1/2 cup chopped green onion
35 Ritz Crackers, crushed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter




Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 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.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese & nutmeg. 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. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

High calorie for a veggie. But it's good and it's Christmas! Love Edisto! Our family has summered there for 50 plus years!

Ooooo...that sounds good too! We Love Yellow Squash!

Oh - thank you both - Peconic - I knew I could count on you.
and Tucker that sounds devine. Now, I have '2' tried and true recipes.

Tucker - we love Edisto also. We are heading down for New Year's eve. Nothing better than being down there with good friends and family to ring in the New Year. It is a tradition started years ago. Just wish I could convince my husband to spend more time down there, but he says salt water eats up his boat motors! So, about 2 weeks at a time at the house is ALL he can stand. He needs fresh water and I have salt water in my veins!!!
Merry Christmas and I hope Santa leaves you both something wonderful.

I know what yellow crook neck squash is, in the NE we usually see it in the summer aka yellow summer squash, but I am curious, what is yellow squash? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thanks.gif" alt="" />

Yellow Squash (or Summer Squash)...

A little late on this one, but I love this recipe:

SQUASH CASSEROLE

** I double this recipe for a party and use a 9 X 13 size dish**

1 lb summer squash, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped (Vidalia or other sweet onion is great in this)
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup butter, melted
1/8 tsp pepper
1 TBSP sugar
2 eggs, beaten
¼ tsp soy sauce
¾ cup grated cheddar, divided
½ cup cracker or bread crumbs, divided
1/8 tsp paprika


Grease 1 ½ quart casserole. Cook squash, onion, salt on stove top until very soft. Add to butter, pepper, sugar, eggs, soy sauce, grated cheddar (1/4 cup) and ¼ cup bread crumbs. Bake 20 minutes. Top with rest of cheddar, rest of bread crumbs and paprika. Bake 10-15 minutes more.

... Looking at the recipe, I don't think I always use the sugar when I use Vidalia onions- they are so sweet. I don't remember putting sugar in the last few times!
