This is a family favorite. I do not use a whole stick of Butter when I make it. I have used reduced calorie Ritz crackers, Vegetable Ritz and Garlic Ritz. All work fine.

Squash Casserole

2 pounds yellow squash

1 medium onion

1 egg

½ cup milk

1 cup crushed Ritz Crackers (I tried the garlic/butter ones and the reduced fat ones, and they work well too)

1 stick melted butter (I use ½ stick or so….still good and margerine works fine, too)

1 cup grated cheddar cheese (2% works well, too)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cook squash and onion, then drain and mash together in bowl. Add egg, milk, crackers, butter, salt and pepper and put in a casserole dish. Top with cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly at 350 degrees.
