HARVEST YELLOW & ZUCCHINI SQUASH & BEEF CASSEROLE



Harvest Yellow & Zucchini Squash & Beef Casserole image

This is a yummy, warming casserole that is meant to be a side dish, but since it has meat in it, can also be served as a main dish. This is the version I came up with after significantly reducing some of the heavier ingredients, that were in the original version I saw on Lucy Classic Cajun & Cuisine, a PBS cooking program. But don't let that scare you - this is not a spicy dish at all. I make this often in the end of summer to use up fresh squash. If you don't have both types of squash, just use 2 of whichever type you do have.

Categories     White Rice

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

1 small summer squash, unpeeled, sliced into thick rounds (crookneck)

1/2 lb lean ground beef

2 large eggs
1/2 cup Miracle Whip (light is OK) or 1/2 cup mayonnaise (light is OK)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups cooked hot white rice (I use Jasmine or long grain)
1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs (or less to taste)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook sliced squashes in a small pot with the water until tender but not mushy; drain and return squash to the pot.
  • Add butter and allow it to melt in the pot and sauté all together for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium to medium-low heat.
  • Meanwhile, spray a large deep skillet with nonstick spray and cook the beef and onions.
  • Drain any fat, then season meat mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the squash to the beef using a slotted spoon, and reduce heat to low.
  • Beat together eggs, then whisk in mayo- add this mixture to the skillet.
  • Stir in the cheese and the cooked rice.
  • Pour into a large oval casserole and sprinkle with enough cracker crumbs to cover.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Note: The original version of this recipe called for a whopping 1 whole stick of butter!
  • I have always used at most the 1/2 stick and as little as 2 tablespoons.
  • -it is based on your preferences.
  • I also always use real, unsalted butter.

YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH SHRIMP



Yellow Squash Casserole With Shrimp image

The amount of Ritz crackers to use is one sleeve, but the Recipezaar brain doesn't understand that measurement. It comes out to about a cup when I crush them up using my Cuisinart.

Provided by xtine

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs yellow squash, sliced
1 large white onion, sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 cup small cooked shrimp
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • While squash is cooking, put butter, Velveeta and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl loosely with waxed paper and microwave on high, stopping to stir mixture every 30 seconds or so.
  • When butter and velveeta are melted, remove bowl from microwave.
  • Mix together well-drained squash, cheese mixture, shrimp, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Ritz cracker crumbs, and add Tabasco to taste.
  • You may top with breadcrumbs or additional cracker crumbs if you like.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE - PICADILLY CAFETERIA



Yellow Squash Casserole - Picadilly Cafeteria image

We first had this at Picadilly Cafeteria some 20 years or more ago and fell in love with it. Had to do some smooth talking to get the recipe and adapted it for home use

Provided by Margie Brock

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 -4 cups yellow squash, cooked and drained
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups Ritz crackers (rolled in zip lok bag for crumbs)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Sauté onion and bell pepper in butter.
  • (You can use 2 tsp butter and enough water to sauté for a lower fat version) add squash and cook until heated through.
  • Remove from heat-adding celery seed, milk, sugar, salt, eggs and half of the cracker crumbs.
  • Pour into a greased casserole.
  • Top with cheese and the remaining cracker crumbs.
  • Bake at 375°F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for yellow squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Wash the squash thoroughly: Scrub the squash under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: You can boil, steam, or roast the squash. If you are boiling or steaming the squash, cook it until it is easily pierced with a fork. If you are roasting the squash, cook it until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash: This will help to prevent the squash from becoming mushy.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: You can add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, or any other spices that you like.
  • Top with cheese or breadcrumbs: This will add a delicious golden brown crust to the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Yellow squash casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
