HARVEST YELLOW & ZUCCHINI SQUASH & BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook sliced squashes in a small pot with the water until tender but not mushy; drain and return squash to the pot.
• Add butter and allow it to melt in the pot and sauté all together for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium to medium-low heat.
• Meanwhile, spray a large deep skillet with nonstick spray and cook the beef and onions.
• Drain any fat, then season meat mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the squash to the beef using a slotted spoon, and reduce heat to low.
• Beat together eggs, then whisk in mayo- add this mixture to the skillet.
• Stir in the cheese and the cooked rice.
• Pour into a large oval casserole and sprinkle with enough cracker crumbs to cover.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for about 15-20 minutes.
• Note: The original version of this recipe called for a whopping 1 whole stick of butter!
• I have always used at most the 1/2 stick and as little as 2 tablespoons.
• -it is based on your preferences.
• I also always use real, unsalted butter.
