Spicy Squash Casserole Recipe

Spicy Squash Casserole Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute squash in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and jalapeno, stirring until beef is evenly browned. Drain off grease. In a large bowl, mix together the squash, eggs, and mayonnaise. Stir in the ground beef mixture and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a 9×13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle cracker crumbs evenly over the top.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through, and the top is nicely browned.
