Delicious & Healthy, 4 Ingredient Squash Casserole image

My mother always made a heavenly squash casserole when I was growing up. This is my trimmed-down version that's super-easy to make and never dissapoints on taste. In the summer my husband and I eat this at least once a week and it's nearly guilt-free! I use 2% sharp cheddar and turkey bacon, but feel free to go full fat with some of the ingredients.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs summer squash, sliced
3 slices turkey bacon, cut into 1 inch bits

salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Put squash & bacon into glass, microwave-safe dish. Add salt & pepper & cover dish tightly with cling wrap.
  • Microwave squash for 13 - 15 minutes. Remove clear wrap carefully. There will be lots of steam.
  • Mash squash slighly with potato masher or large fork.
  • Drain squash well (do NOT skip this step or casserole will be watery) and add back to glass bowl.
  • Taste squash and season further if needed.
  • Add beaten egg to squash and stir. Microwave until egg is set 3 - 5 minute.
  • Transfer mixture to baking dish, cover with cheese & broil until cheese is melted.
