SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE

Summer Squash Casserole image

"Why don't you just cook something that tastes really good?" Julia Reed's mother said that, chiding her daughter, a writer of uncommon style and wit who used to contribute food essays and recipes to The New York Times Magazine. Her mother thought Ms. Reed spent too much time thinking about complicated, over-the-top recipes at the expense of simple, honest American cooking that draws compliments not because it looks amazing, but because it's delicious. Like, for example, this recipe, for what Julia called in a 2002 article, "the best squash casserole on the planet Earth." The ingredients are by no means fancy - summer squash, jalapeño, white bread, Ritz crackers, eggs and Cheddar - but they combine in mysterious and marvelous ways to deliver a perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or a weekend roast.
