Looking for name of dish and / recipe with squash and cheese?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Casserole Recipes


My friend made some once a long time ago. She was Mexican, so I’m assuming her recipe was too. Almost like a soupy casserole cooked in a pot. I’m sure it had yellow squash and lots of cheese, maybe some onions.

SQUASH-CHEESE CASSEROLE

2 lbs. yellow crock neck squash
1 med. onion, chopped
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
1 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. flour
2 stiffly beaten egg whites
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, crisp cooked, drained and crumbs (dry)
1/2 c. bread crumbs, dry
1 tbsp. melted butter

Wash squash and cut off ends. Cook whole, covered in boiling water (salted) for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cut into thin slice. Mix together egg yolks, sour cream, flour and onion. Fold in the egg whites. Layer half the squash, egg mixture and cheese on greased casserole, then repeat with other half. Sprinkle bacon over mixture and add bread crumbs and melted butter on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour or until set.
