Happy Day After Thanksgiving Everyone or should I say HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!

I’m sure some of your crazy brave people are out shopping.  I was once a Black Friday shopper!  Now, with a 5 year old, my shopping wings have been clipped and I’m grounded.  Instead, we will open our Christmas tree lot today!

If you were out in the madness, I pray you will survive to read this.  Ha.

In my last post I asked if anyone had a yummy squash casserole recipe.  Thankfully, I hit the jackpot with the recipe I found online.  It was DELICIOUS.  I thought I’d share with you!

Yellow Squash Casserole from Allrecipes.com.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sliced yellow squash
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 35 buttery round crackers, crushed
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions. In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk, then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

 I doubled the recipe because it would have been WAY TOO THIN for a 9 X 13 dish (plus it wouldn’t have been enough for a Thanksgiving gathering).  But the original recipe would be great for a family of 4 (just in a smaller dish).

The Christmas season has officially begun around here.  I guess I better get hoppin’ …

Have a blessed Friday everyone!
