Southern Baked Summer Squash

Recipe by Melissa Hamilton found on allrecipes.com

I love Southern food and I get really excited when I see one that has all great ingredients, as this one does!  Definitely planning on making this dish some time this week.

3 lbs Summer Squash, cut into 1" cubes

1/2 cup dry Bread Crumbs

1/2 cup chopped Onion

2 Eatwell Farm Eggs

1/4 cup Butter, melted

1 TB White Sugar (OK, almost all good ingredients!)

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1/4 cup Butter, melted

1/4 cup dry Bread Crumbs

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Grease a 2 qt baking dish.  Place squash in a large saucepan, cover with water and boil until soft, about 15 minutes.  Drain squash well, place in a large mixing bowl,and mash until slightly chunky.  Stir in 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, onion, eggs, 1/4 cup of butter, sugar, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined. Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish.  Drizzle the top of the casserole with 1/4 cup melted butter and sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs over the butter.  Bake in preheated oven until the casserole is cooked through and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour.
