The St. Petersburg Times published this recipe in 2010 out of Trisha’s cookbook “Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood”. I have the book, and LOVE this recipe. I suppose I won’t get in trouble if others have already outed the recipe, right?
2 pounds yellow summer squash, trimmed and sliced ¼ -inch thick
½ small sweet Vidalia onion, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon salt (divided use)
1 large egg ½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup crushed butter crackers, such as Ritz (about 12 crackers)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
Place the sliced squash and the onion in a medium saucepan with about a cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and cool.
Put the squash into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer; the mixture should remain kind of chunky. Add the egg, mayonnaise, cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and mix until combined. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared dish, top with the crumbs and bake for 30 minutes.
Makes 12 servings.
Looks delicious… I make a similar version, using bread crumbs instead of crackers, and adding a breadcrumb/butter sprinkling on top. I have 2 zucchini babies in my garden, and can't wait to eat them!

This one is a keeper… can't wait until we are getting fresh squash!
LOVE!!
Hey, did I tell you I have a garden? Yep, the next door neighbor planted cucumbers and they're growin' through my fence! 🙂
I've never had squash casserole but this recipe looks so easy and sound yummy too. Thanks for sharing it with us. I've looked around town for Trisha's cookbook and haven't found it anywhere…

This recipe sounds delicious…the onions make a nice difference! I remember wanting this cookbook when it first cam out, I have to llok for it!
XO,

That will be on the menu next week for sure. Thanks for sharing it. Trisha won't mind.
Have a blessed day!
Oh yummy! I will have to give this a try…maybe on Friday when my vegetarian family members are eating with us…
This sounds great- I am used to just eating summer squash raw in a salad or sauting it with butter until it is lightly browned. This sounds wonderful! Thanks-Diana
Yum! Looks like comfort food to me!!!
My sister's recipe is similar and it tastes delish. Yum!
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
Yum. Seriously.
This looks delicious, Karen. I don't have any squash yet, but will try this when I do! 🙂
Karen, this sounds yummy! Might have to put it on my list next week.

I have so much squash and zucchni that I'm sharing with friends. What a great dish to try. Yea! Debi
This looks really good and similar to a dish my Mom makes. The scalloped tomato dish you published a while back…it finally dawned on me Mom has been making that dish for decades too. Just not as fancy but still good. Yours was good too, Karen, I've made it a lot since so thanks!
What a great way to use of summer squash, which I absolutely love! Joni
Summer squash is my very favorite veggie! My mother-in-law made a similar squash casserole with onion, cheese, and crushed potato chips on top–the thick crunchy, dirty kind–like Kettle!
This recipe sounds wonderful too!

Just picked up some of that today at the Farmer's Market!! This recipe looks quite good and it's fairly easy to make…think I will give it a try!! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh yum! Sadly, my yellow squash isn't doing that well. I keep hoping for a comeback.
My zucchini on the other hand…I bet you could make this w/ zucchini.
Delicious!
We love our squash. Anything with mayo has to be a keeper. Too hot today to put the oven on though. I will print this and save it for a cooler day.
Get in my belly!!!!!!!
