CHEESE & YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Coat baking dish lightly with butter.
• Grate all the cheese, then save a small amount aside to sprinkle on top of the casserole.
• Cut the squash into medium thin slices, the onion in very thin slices.

• Combine squash/onion with most of the shredded cheese, 1/2 stick of butter, 1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs. This will form a thick "pasty" mixture.
• Add 1 beaten egg (or substitute). If mixture is too runny, add a little more bread crumbs. If too dry, add a little milk.
• Add to mixture a heavy "dash" of Worcestershire, 1/2 to 1 tsp of sugar (to taste), a dash of Tabasco sauce, a good dash of garlic powder, then salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Spoon mixture into the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle top lightly with bread crumbs and the small amount of grated cheese that was set aside. Cut small amount of butter into a few thin slices and "dot" on top of casserole.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving to "set" the casserole.
