Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 summer squash, sliced
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 2 cups butter-flavored cracker crumbs

Recipe

• 1 saute the onions and squash in the butter and oil in a large skillet.
• 2 when the onions begin to take on a bit of color (you want good brown crunchy bits), cover the skillet and turn the heat down to low for 10-15 minutes.
• 3 you now have soft squash with what looks like too much liquid. add in about 3/4 of the cheese and 3/4 of the cracker crumbs (i use generic version of ritz crackers). stir. put the remaining cheese and cracker crumbs on top.
• 4 turn up the heat a bit until you get the cheese to melt. do not stir too much, you want cheese and cruchy crumbs on the top.
• 5 we enjoy this as a dinner on its own, or as a side to grilled whatever. the leftovers are good, but not quite as crunchy.
