Description

This recipe is a tradition that is a must at every holiday meal.  My youngest children have always enjoyed this casserole and beg for more.  Even better --  it is easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb yelow squash
  • 1⁄2 C minced onions
  • 1 3⁄4 C ritz cracker crumbs
  • 2 ea eggs
  • 1⁄4 C butter or oleo

Instructions

  • Saute squash and onions in 1 stick butter or oleo until soft. 
  • Add eggs and 1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs.  If too dry add just a little milk to moisten.  If not firm enought add more Ritz cracker crumbs.  To crush crumbs simply put Ritz crackers in a freezer ziploc bag and crush with your rolling pin.  The kids love to help with this.
  • Put in buttered baking dish.
  • Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup of Ritz Cracker crumbs on top and dot with butter.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Notes

This is one of those family recipes that I don't usually measure.  I have tried to get as close as possible to what I actually do but feel free to change the measurements as needed.  The casserole should be fairly firm without being dry.  It is always the biggest hit of the side dishes.
