Outstanding! A terrific way to get vegetables into the most reluctant veggie eaters. We put this to the ultimate test -- a friend who hates vegetables -- and even she liked it. Those who actually like vegetables love this. And it can be mixed a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake it.Ingredients:
3 pounds yellow squash or zucchini1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
Instructions:
Slice the squash. Boil or steam until tender. Drain, then mash. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.In a mixing bowl, combine the squash with half the melted butter, the onion, eggs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole dish. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining butter and sprinkle over the squash. Bake for about 45 minutes and serve hot.

This is delicious. I also tried adding some shredded extra sharp cheddar before baking.
This recipe is awesome! I also added some cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup) and it was even better. I plan to add some bacon next time!
I cut it in half to try it for just me and my husband. I still used a 2 qt. baking dish. It tastes like breaded fried squash–wonderful!
I made this for supper and thought it was great. It’s a great way to use zucchini.
Great way to prepare squash !
This recipe was fantstic! Very easy to make! Highly recommended!
We made this recipe for our company and everyone loved it. Next time I will cut the bread crumbs down to keep the carbs lower. I am so happy to have a good recipe to use our fresh summer squash in a different way.
I dressed it up by adding some garlic and fresh basil. BTW, it’s great cold, sliced and served with a green salad.
This is also known as Aunt Fanny’s Baked Yellow Squash from a now-defunct restaurant called Aunt Fanny’s Cabin in Smyrna, Georgia. I’ve been making it for 30+ years and my family devours it. Panko crumbs also work very well in place of the bread crumbs.
