The garden is coming in, and after you've made salads for a week, and had fried squash and onions for two, you may be ready to try something different. Here is my recipe for a Summer Squash Casserole.
(A little brag here....when I made this casserole today, everything in it -- except the butter, cheese, and bacon -- was grown or raised on my little homestead!)
SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
You will need a large oven-proof baking dish or casserole to make this recipe. You either need a lid or aluminum foil to cover.
Pre-heat oven to 350o. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in baking dish and set in oven to melt.
INGREDIENTS:
Wash, dry, and slice vegetables in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, scramble eggs, then add crumbled bacon, milk, flour, and diced pepper jack cheese. Mix thoroughly. Pour into vegetables and mix thoroughly with spoon or clean hands.
Remove baking dish from the oven and make sure sides and bottom are buttered. Pour mixture into the dish and place in preheated oven. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Turn off oven, arrange American cheese slices on top of casserole and return to warm oven to melt.
Serves 6.
