This recipe calls for summer squash, but we've used acorn in the Fall as well. Nice for Fall color:

SQUASH CASSEROLE

** I double this recipe for a party and use a 9 X 13 size dish**

1 lb summer squash, sliced

¼ cup butter, melted
1/8 tsp pepper
1 TBSP sugar
2 eggs, beaten
¼ tsp soy sauce
¾ cup grated cheddar, divided
½ cup cracker or bread crumbs, divided
1/8 tsp paprika


Grease 1 ½ quart casserole. Cook squash, onion, salt on stove top until very soft. Add to butter, pepper, sugar, eggs, soy sauce, grated cheddar (1/4 cup) and ¼ cup bread crumbs. Bake 20 minutes. Top with rest of cheddar, rest of bread crumbs and paprika. Bake 10-15 minutes more.
