YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE
Famed 18th-century naturalist John Bartram once pronounced a dish of boiled squash "poor entertainment." Some preparations still merit that memorable epitaph, but this souffle-like casserole of summer squash can take an Oscar on any stage. The common crookneck variety suggested in the recipe is one of our oldest domesticated squashes, probably native to New Jersey, according to William Woys Weaver in Heirloom Vegetable Gardening (1997).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium baking dish.
- Slice the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the yellow squash, zucchini and carrots in a saucepan, barely cover with water and salt well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
- Meanwhile, warm 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Wipe out the skillet, return it to medium-low heat, and add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook briefly until the crumbs are golden. Scrape them onto a small plate and reserve them.
- Drain the squash mixture, mashing the vegetables just a bit. Spoon it into the mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs, cheese and a good splash or two of the pepper sauce. Salt and pepper generously to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted cracker crumbs over the top. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for yellow squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is soft or has blemishes.
- Cook the squash properly: The squash should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the squash mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
- Season the casserole well: Be sure to season the casserole well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Top the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed crackers: This will give the casserole a nice crunchy topping.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Yellow squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh summer squash, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and crunchy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
