I coaxed this easy (and forgiving) recipe from its maker after tasting it at a pot luck, and was surprised by its simplicity. Just a few ingredients make a delicious summer side dish for anything barbecued, grilled, or smoked - especially if the squash is home grown!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Place the squash in a large saucepan, cover with water, and boil until soft, about 15 minutes.

Drain the squash well, place in a large mixing bowl, and mash until slightly chunky.

Stir in 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, onion, eggs, 1/4 cup of butter, sugar, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined, and spread mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Drizzle the top of the casserole with 1/4 cup melted butter, and sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs over the butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is cooked through and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour.
