Squash Casserole

Squash casserole is a staple of Southern potlucks, family reunions and holiday meals.  Plus, it's just a great comfort food.  There are dozens of recipes for this classic including many which involve a "cream of ______" soup.  Here's my version.

4 cups thinly sliced yellow squash

1 T. olive oil

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

2 eggs, lightly beaten

8 oz. sour cream

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, over medium high heat, saute' squash and onion until softened, 4 - 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and let cool slightly.  Mix in remaining ingredients until well blended.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small, lightly greased casserole dish, spoon in squash mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes until browned and bubbling.
