3 lb. yellow crookneck squash, sliced
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 c. milk
12 saltine crackers, crushed
1 c. coarsely grated sharp Cheddar cheese

Boil the squash in a saucepan of salted water for about 8 minutes. Drain well. In a large bowl, mash the squash well and stir in the butter, milk, crackers, cheese, eggs, salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3 quart baking dish and bake in the middle of a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until the top is slightly golden. Serves 6-8.
