i just roasted 4 medium sized yesterday. They were so good and so easy. I chopped them into bite size pieces, spread on baking sheet, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with jalapeno Mrs Dash, and roasted at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.

I have many recipes saved over the years for various types of squash casseroles and have never decided which one is best........all are good.  Yellow squash is one of my favorites.

Basically, these casseroles are some combination of  such things as onion, bacon or sausage, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, grated carrots, pimientos, water chestnuts, cheddar or Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs or herb-seasoned stuffing mix as a topping.

If not in a casserole, just some roasted squash is a favorite, too. 

Here's another one that's good.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED SQUASH

6 medium yellow squash

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup herb-seasoned stuffing

1/4 teaspoon salt

2-1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Cook squash in boiling water to cover for 8-10 minutes until tender but still firm.

Drain and cool slightly.  Trim off sems.

Cut squash into half lengthwise; remove and reserve pullp, leaving a firm shell.

Cook sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat until sauage is browned, stirring to crumble.

Remove from heat, drain off pan drippings, stir in squash pulp, stuffing and salt.

Place squash shells in a 13 x 9 baking dish.  Spoon sausage mixture into shells, sprinkle with cheese.

Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until lighty browned.

I am between two residences and this recipe was at the other one. It's from Holly Clegg Trim and Terriffic Cookbook - even the 3 year old loved it. It's my favorite way to eat squash. 

Squash Casserole - 6-8 servings - 350 degrees

2 lb yellow squash thinly sliced

2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped

1 lg onion chopped

2 tbsp canola oil

1 (15oz) can creamed corn

1 tbsp sugar

1/4 cup cornmeal

salt and pepper to taste

on stove or in microwave, steam squash in 1/4 cup water until tender then drain, mash or puree. Saute the onion/pepper in the oil until tender. Combine squash, onion mixture, corn, sugar, and corn meal. Season w/salt and pepper. Place in 2 qt casserole dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  CAN FREEZE AT THIS POINT or bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and thoroughly heated.

This works well for eggplant also!  Delicious!
