  • Squash casserole (for Thanksgiving)

    This is something my Mom used to make which you can have for Thanksgiving. It's Atkins compatible and very delicious. Sorry, I cannot remember all the amounts so estimated a few things, but it would be hard to make a bad casserole out of these ingredients.

    1 lb yellow squash
    1/2 c. mayonnaise
    1/2 c. onion chopped
    1/2 c. green pepper chopped
    1/2 c. sliced mushrooms (optional)
    Sharp cheddar cheese (not sure here, maybe 1 cup?; could use
    Monterey Jack instead)
    dash of juice from jalapeno peppers (optional, this does not make this
    hot, it just adds some flavor)
    salt & pepper
    Sliced almonds

    Slice yellow squash and cook until tender. Drain for a very long time
    in a colandar, "squishing" the squash to eliminate the the liquid (otherwise the casserole will be watery).

    In a bowl, mix squash in with other ingredients, except almonds. When
    mixed, put into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 325 - 250 until warm (about a half hour, but watch closely because I am not sure about timing).

    Just before done, top with almonds and let bake for a few more minutes
    to let almonds brown.

    dit, that sounds delicious. Yellow squash is one of my most favorite things in the world. I had some for supper tonight along with green beans and a large hamburger steak. I don't put mushrooms in my casserole cause I don't like them. I use to top it with crushed corn chips but not anymore. The idea of the almonds slivers sounds yummy. That sure beats pork rind topping. Thanks for the posting the recipe.

    Do you have anything that taste like cornbread dressing?? LOL

      LOL Janice, the only thing I can think of for cornbread stuffing is to use the low carb cornbread mixes. Have you considered that? I have not tried any of them, but have seen them available on the web somewhere.

      (I'm just gonna forego the stuffing myself this year though...normally I am the designated stuffing maker, but I told everyone I was not doing it this year due to Atkins - this was a good excuse because that's a LOT of work!! )
