It won't be long before fresh squash from the garden will be running out of our ears.  I am always looking for a new way to cook it.  I've tried several casserole recipes and this one is my favorite.

Squash Casserole

2 cups cooked and mashed squash
2 cups butter flavor cracker crumbs
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Pinch of sugar
6 T. butter, cut into small pieces

Combine the squash, cracker crumbs, evaporated milk, cheese, and onion; stir well. Mix in the eggs, salt, pepper, sugar, and butter. Pour into a greased 2 quart baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes at 350.
