Copycat Three Dollar Cafe Squash Casserole Recipe Cdkitchen

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9 X 13 baking dish. Bring water to boil. Add squash and zucchini and cook until tender. Drain. While squash cooks, in a medium skillet, melt butter and saute onion until translucent. About 5 minutes. In large mixing bowl, combine squash and onion. Stir in eggs, sugar, salt, chicken base, pepper, bread crumbs and cheddar. Mix well and pour into prepared dish. Top with american cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is browned and casserole is bubbling.

Steps:

• Cut off tips of squash. Slice the squash into thin rounds, to cook quicker. Cook in boiling water, about 10 minutes. Drain in colander. Split the squash, using one half for the mixure and the other half for mashing. Mash the second half with hand masher, leaving small chunks visible.
• Take first half, mash with mixer until small. Mix with bread crumbs, one stick butter, sugar, salt, pepper and beat until thoroughly mixed. (Will be fairly smooth). Then mix in onions with mixer.
• Mix by hand the second half of mashed squash with the mixed half. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Smooth and cover with a light layer of bread crumbs.
• Can melt the last half stick of butter and mix with crumbs if desired because the crumbs don't brown nicely. (I also have "broiled" the top brown at the end of cooking and poured the butter over it to help.).
• Bake at 350 degrees until browned, usually about an hour.
