Ingredients

  • • 4 cups yellow squash peeled, cooked and mashed
  • • 3 eggs beaten
  • • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • • salt and pepper to taste
  • • dried parsley
  • • ½ cup to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • • ¼ cup melted butter
  • • 1 sleeve of butter crackers crushed and divided

Instructions

  • Peel, slice and boil the squash with a little salt. I
    boiled mine in the Instant Pot at 4 minutes and it was perfect! Mash and
    drain water out well.
  • After thoroughly removing excess water and mashing, add
    eggs, onions, buttermilk, salt, pepper, parsley, half of the shredded
    cheddar cheese and half of the crushed butter crackers. Spread in a
    lightly greased casserole pan.
  • Mix butter with other half of crackers and cheese and
    spoon over the top. Bake at 375 degrees F for one hour or until top is
    browned and bubbly. Enjoy!
