SLAP YOUR MAMA IT'S SO DELICIOUS SOUTHERN SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Wash and slice squash into small medallions or dice into smaller pieces if the squash is large. I prefer smaller sized squash since it is tender. Put squash into a large bowl for mixing with the filling.
• 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the soup, mayo, eggs, cheese, onions, salt, and pepper.
• 4. Pour over squash.
• 5. Stir until well mixed.
• 6. Then pour into a casserole dish for baking.
• 7. Crush crackers while in "tubes" (I usually wrap them in a dish towel to avoid a mess, and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer) or place in a resealable plastic bag.
• 8. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl. Melt butter in the microwave and stir into crackers until moist.
• 9. Drizzle on top of casserole. (You can make more or less of the topping. More topping = more yummy!)
• 10. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and brown on top (usually 45-50 minutes). Bake for 30 minutes covered. with foil to help prevent crackers from burning.
• 11. Then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
• 12. ***If you want, you can add a cup of chopped cooked chicken into casserole. Also, adding 2 cups of cooked rice into it makes a delish meal.

STEWED SUMMER SQUASH AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice squash as thinly as possible- I use a mandoline to do this quickly.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add squash and onions and season then cover with water.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until water evaporates.
• Can be eaten at this point, but I like to cook it until it is almost brown, you just have to stir very frequently because it will stick pretty bad. Cooking it a long time will caramelize the vegetables and it becomes a sweet side dish. Warning- it isn't pretty, but it is tasty!
• Make this into a main dish by adding chunks of ham during cooking. Also delicious!

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
• In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
• In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
• Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.
