Number Of Ingredients 7

8 c. sliced summer squash (about 6 or 7 small squash)
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
1/3 c. milk
1 c. crushed saltine crackers, divided
4 T. unsalted butter, divided
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add squash and onion. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until squash is tender, about 6 - 8 minutes.
