Even if you don't like yellow squash, you've got to try this. It almost tastes like fresh sweet corn! This is a copycat recipe of the Black Eyed Pea Restaurant's squash casserole. They are well known for their southern country veggies!

How To Make squash casserole(like black eyed pea restaurant)

Step 1

Cut tips off squash and cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces. Drop squash and chopped onion into a large saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to boil, reduce heat and cook until tender. Drain well in colander and mash, allowing excess liquid to drain.

Step 2

Combine with beaten eggs, 1-cup breadcrumbs, butter, sugar, salt, onion, and pepper. Turn into a greased 3-quart casserole.
Step 3

Toss remaining bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
