Southern Yellow Squash Casserole

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a small, square casserole dish.

2. 2

   Boil squash and onion in a large pot 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

   Pour the squash and onion into a colander and drain. Press firmly against the mixture until all excess moisture is drained.

   In a medium mixing bowl combine drained squash and onion mixture and stir in butter (while still warm) allowing the butter to melt. Fold in sour cream, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese (note: reserve the remaining half cup for the topping). Check mixture to see if levels of salt and pepper suit your taste and adjust accordingly.
