Boil squash with water and a little salt and pepper until tender. Drain very well. Add 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, cream, onion, and more salt and pepper if needed. Add cheese if desired or you may sprinkle it on top. Mix cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes or until bubbly. Serves 4 to 6.

If you have cheese in other dishes you are serving, you may leave it out.
