Ingredients
*5 med to large summer squash sliced in half lengthwise then into chunky slices across. ( You should have about 2 Lbs of squash. *2 med onions sliced in half length wise then loosely diced* 4 large cloves of garlic- crushed through press or minced FINELY( about 3-4 teaspoons pressed)*2 Tbls butter* 1 cup skim milk*2 eggs beaten* 3 Tbls flour- sifted* 1 teas salt*.5 teas pepper*1 packet stevia*.5 cups grated 2% shredded cheddar.25 cups bread crumbs( any style)
In a large Non stick pan melt butter and saute onions and garlic, salt and pepper until onions are translucent( about 5 min) Add squash and cover stirring every few minutes- cook until squash is tender( 10 more minutes)
meanwhile in a 2.5 quart casserole dish with a lid( pyrex etc.) mix remaining ingredients EXCEPT bread crumbs. * **add flour a bit at a time and stir rapidly to prevent balling. WHen squash mixture is tender- drain liquid as well as you can( I just use a slotted spoon to scoop it out of the pan and allow the liquid to drain spoonful by spoonful) - add to casserole dish and stir well. Cook uncovered at 350 on oven for 30 minutes- mixture will be set overall but might still have a slight jiggle it will also show bubbles throughout. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top- spray with cooking spray to allow browning and cook an additional 10 minutes. Whatever is left over- just throw on the cover and refrigerate.
** also wonderful to mix in with scrambled eggs for a tasty breakfast treat the next day!
Serving Size: makes 6 GENEROUS servings or 8 smaller servings.
