When I was growing up my grandmother would make this squash casserole.   The recipe came from the lady who was my sister’s babysitter before I came along.   It is one of my favorites now
MRS. FREEMAN’S SQUASH CASSEROLE  (Serves 8-10)

2 cups cooked squash
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup evaporated milk
2 cups cracker crumbs

Mash cooked squash.   Add other ingredients and mix well.   Pour into greased baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

(Note:  Reserve enough cheese & crackers for topping.   I use only 1 egg, but egg substitute may be used)
