Introduction

Just like Grandmother used to make! Just like Grandmother used to make!
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1. Summer squash (yellow or zucchini, but yellow is the most common one for this), 4 cups sliced
    2. Yellow onion , one medium (or one cup)(Vidalia is best), finely chopped
    3. 2 extra large eggs,beaten
    4. 1 cup bread crumbs (seasoned)
    5. Cheddar chees, one cup shredded
    6. Bacon grease (no, really). 3 tsp. Finely chopped bacon if you like.

Directions

Boil squash in a medium saucepan until soft.
Meanwhile, slowly cook chopped onions in the bacon grease until translucent, then put aside.
When squash is cooked, drain it and put in a large frying pan, add onion and bacon greese. Mash with a potato masher. Cook for a few minutes or until some of the moisture is evaporated.
Mix in the eggs until thoroughly blended, quickly start to layer in a medium sized casserole dish (greased). Start with breadcrumbs, then squash, then cheese and end with breadcrumbs. You can sprinkle a little cheese and bacon bits over the top if you like. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until the breadcrumbs on top start to brown a little.
Serve right away.
This just gets better with each warming over.

    Incredible!
    This is delicious! I'm thinking of variations to try. Maybe mixing some other veggies like mushrooms, pimentos, or jalapenos next time! - 6/28/14

    Incredible!
    OMG! You are a FABULOUS cook! I just enter 'my' own Grandmother's squash casserole... but I left out the bacon grease. You're the BEST! I suspect our grandmothers wouldn't have boiled water without adding bacon grease. Fond memories :-) - 6/7/11
