This spicy cheese and ground beef casserole can be used as a side dish or a main course! Any type of squash or ground meat may be used. For winter squash, you may want to pre-cook in the microwave before frying in butter to speed the process. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
3 yellow squash, sliced |
1 pound lean ground beef |
1 onion, chopped |
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute squash in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and jalapeno, stirring until beef is evenly browned. Drain off grease. In a large bowl, mix together the squash, eggs, and mayonnaise. Stir in the ground beef mixture and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle cracker crumbs evenly over the top.
3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through, and the top is nicely browned.
