Ingredients:
4 cups sliced yellow squash
1/2 cup chopped onion
35 buttery round crackers, crushed 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or Co-Jack cheese
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk or Half & Half
1/4 cup butter, melted (or squeeze bottle margarine)
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
 

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and cheese. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions. In a small bowl, mix together eggs and milk, then add to squash mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake in greased 9 x 13 pan in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
