Mama's Squash Casserole Recipes

Here are two of Mama's favorite squash casserole recipes. I thought I'd share these since my squash is coming in now... Thanks to my little brother watching over them!!! I've been really busy starting a new job, training, and everything else that's going on!
I'll be making many squash dishes very soon :-)

Creamy Squash Casserole

2 pounds Tender Yellow Squash
½ cup Onion, chopped
¾ cup Saltine Cracker Crumbs
2 T Butter
1 ½ cups White American Cheese, grated
Salt & Pepper to taste
3 Eggs, beaten
½ cup Light Cream or Evaporated Milk

Slice squash. Cook in water with onion until soft. Drain. Add cracker crumbs, butter and 1 cup of the cheese. Add salt and pepper. Mix beaten eggs and cream and mix into squash mixture. Pour into greased casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 425 until done.


Squash Casserole

1 pint Squash
1 small Onion
2 Carrots, grated
1 cup Sour Cream
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 pkg Cornbread Stuffing Mix
1 stick Butter

Cook fresh squash until tender. Drain and mash with fork. Add onion, carrots, soup and sour cream. Mix stuffing and butter. Put some in bottom of a buttered baking dish. Pour in squash mixture and then the rest of the stuffing. Bake uncovered in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.
Mama's Notes: “Just another way to get ‘em to eat what they ‘think’ they don’t like! Ha!”

  1. By 1 pkg Cornbread Stuffing Mix, do you mean like Pepper Ridge Farms? A large pkg?

  2. Yes... or Stove Top or your favorite brand. It will be about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups. Just enough to help it bind together, but not to much that it makes it dry. Hope this helps! Remember (If you've read much of my blog) I'm a dump cook... I just dump it in and let it cook. I'm not big on precise measurements :-)
