PAPOUTSAKIA (STUFFED SQUASH) 
STEP 1:

About 8 medium squash, cut in half lengthwise. Parboil them in water and salt until not quite done. Remove and run cold water over them so they'll be easy to handle. With large spoon, scoop pulp and drain squash. Place in order in greased pan.

STEP 2:
2 lbs. ground meat
1 lg. onion, diced
1/2 c. chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown meat and onion with 1 stick butter. Add parsley, add 1/2 cup white wine, add 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Let simmer until all liquid is absorbed. Mix 2 egg whites in meat mixture. Hold yolks for cream sauce.

STEP 3:

Melt 2 tablespoons butter, add 2 tablespoons flour. Mix together. Add 1 quart hot milk, pouring slowly and stirring until thick and smooth. Slowly add whipped egg yolks and mix well.

Pour meat mixture in squash shells evenly. Cover with the cream sauce. Sprinkle with about 1 cup grated cheese. Also about 1 cup bread crumbs, spread evenly. Bake about 1 hour at 350 degrees.
