Calling all squash recipes ...

[iloveflipflops]

I am going to have 1,000's of squash in my garden before too long. I only know how to cook it one way and that is on the stove with some onion and a little bit of water with salt and pepper. I cook it till its tender. Its great that way but I will get sick of eating it only way .

Any other ideas for me?!?!?!

how about squash casserole? It's pretty simple. I don't have an exact recipe. I just saute squash, zucchini and onion in a pan until it's a little brown and then throw it in a casserole dish with cream of mushroom soup, some cheddar cheese and some crushed ritz crackers and a little butter on the top. Yummy!

My best friend made something similar to this for a party she had this weekend...except she used some stove top stuffing in hers. It was really good. Oh..it had shredded carrots in it too. I'll have to see if I can get the recipe from her.

Mmmm, that sounds delish! I will definitely try that. So you mix the zucchini and squash together. Would you say you use 3 of each?

Yeah. It's pretty much 50/50. Maybe one medium onion. I prefer vidalia in a little olive oil. Saute with a little salt and pepper too. Probably not so much salt because the cream of mushroom soup and cheese will make it so it has plenty of sodium in there.
