What can I do with yellow squash?

I am trying to get in here and ask for recipes for casseroles to freeze.

Re: What can I do with yellow squash?

Well, it's not a casserole, but I love to cut up small yellow squash, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper and cook it in the oven under the broiler at about 400 untill it's  tender and brown. Maybe give it a stir one time.

Nothing complicated.  Just slice it up along with a large vidalia onion and saute it in a pan with water until tender.  Season with a little butter, salt and pepper.  There you have it - a great old southern dish!

Re: What can I do with yellow squash?

Goggle recipes since I can think of at least 10 ways to prepare squash and I am not the cook in the family.  I do enjoy adding olive oil, spices of choice adding other veggies and putting on the grill.   Using a toothpick I puncture holes in foil, add squash, zuchinni, onion, etc, add to grill.  Kids that do not eat veggies will eat this.  My Mom used to cut like a french fry and fry squash in olive oil.  Most friends make casseroles but who has time in the summer. It is delish regardless fo how cooked.

Grilling. I love it marinated in Italian dressing and grilled. My first response was, EAT IT Silly! I love it sauteed with butter, salt and pepper. Super simple and super delish!

Re: What can I do with yellow squash?

My family only likes yellow squash sauteed or sliced, coated with beaten egg, then rolled in cornmeal and flour mixture, and browned in oil and butter. My MIL called them "squash cookies", and this is how she got all of her grandchildren to eat yellow squash.

Love to just sauté with olive oil and garlic. I made a casserole using yellow squash, seasoned bread crumbs , ( can also use croutons ) green onions, a couple eggs, a little chicken broth to moisten mixture. Place in baking dish. Then add a little butter drizzled on top. Baked.

I also like to saute yellow squash slices with onions in olive or butter along with onions.  Smiley Happy

 

In addition, I like to slice yellow squash up, dip the slices in egg, roll in seasoned flour or bread crumbs and fry the slices in butter like fried green tomatoes.  Very good.  

 

Another thing is to slice up a yellow squash, a couple of potatoes, along with some onions and carrots (sometimes I add green pepper and tomatoes when I have them) and put into a foil packet with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and grill until tender (turning a couple of times). Takes about 30-40 minutes.  

 

This can also be done in the oven at about 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  If using the oven, I put the veggies in a casserole dish and cover with foil instead of using a foil packet.
