Summer Essentials Squash Onions And Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a skillet, cook beef, squash and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper and thyme; mix well and set aside. In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in the flour and salt until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Stir in cheese until melted. In a greased 11x7-in. baking dish, layer half of the meat mixture and cheese sauce; repeat layers. Melt the remaining butter and toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over cheese sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes, and add the garlic, summer squash, red pepper, and about 3/4 teaspoon salt. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the squash is translucent and the red pepper tender, about 10 minutes. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat. Serve as a side dish, or use as a filling for a vegetable tart, gratin, or frittata.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix oil, peppered seasoned salt and cumin. Add onion; toss to coat.
• When grill is heated, with slotted spoon, place onion in grill basket (grill "wok"); reserve oil mixture in bowl to coat squash. Place basket on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals. Cook 10 minutes, turning basket occasionally.
• Meanwhile, add summer squash to reserved oil mixture in bowl; toss to coat.
• Place squash in basket with onion; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, turning basket occasionally, until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and cook the summer squash and zucchini until the squash pieces begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and spread into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the chopped onions.
• Mix together the white Cheddar cheese and yellow Cheddar cheese in a bowl until thoroughly combined, and sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture over the onions. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened condensed milk. Repeat sprinkling cheese, onions, and condensed milk twice more, then top with remaining cheese mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is golden brown and the onions are tender, about 30 minutes.
