| Probably my favorite veggie casserole is my yellow squash (Crookneck) casserole...I start by washing and slicing some...I just buy a bunch...no exact measurements here. Put them in a steamer basket over some water, turn the fire up, put the lid on and steam the crooknecks! |
 |
| Next, chop up some onion and saute them in some butter/olive oil (I put a little of both in the pan for sauteing!) Cook until the onions are soft and beginning to get a little brown.. |
 |
| Go ahead and get out your Jack cheese.... |
 |
| and some crackers...doesn't really make any difference what kind. I've used regular saltines, and regular Milton whole grains, Trader Joe's crackers....just grab some crackers - this is for the topping a little later...You could go ahead and crush some of them while the onions are cooking.. |
 |
| Open, drain, and rinse a can of these.... they add the important CRUNCH to the casserole... |
 |
| OK, looks like the squash has finished steaming...so drain them... |
 |
| Put them in a baking dish... |
 |
| Cube up a bunch of the Monterey Jack cheese and add to the squash, and go ahead and mix in the sliced water chestnuts... |
 |
| Now stir in the onions.... |
 |
| Season LIBERALLY with salt and pepper... I use Trader Joe's smokey salt and lemon-pepper... |
 |
| This does not go in the casserole...but it's nice to have on hand while you're cooking... |
 |
| Looking good...about ready.... |
 |
| Put some butter in the skillet... melt it... |
 |
| If you haven't already, take out some crackers and crunch them up... |
 |
| That doesn't look like very many...I'm sure I used more after I took this picture...you want enough to cover your dish.... |
Enjoy!
