To take advantage of delicious fall produce, I often prepare this rich-tasting side dish. Ingredients:
3 pounds butternut squash, peeled, cubed |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 medium onion, chopped |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 12 crackers) |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Place squash in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until very tender. drain well and place in a large bowl; mash. In another bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, onion, milk, salt and pepper; add to the mashed squash and mix well.
2. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Yield: 6-8 servings.
