Yellow Squash Recipes

Squash Potatoe Casserole

5-6 green onions, sliced thin
1 c parmesan cheese (cheddar works, too)
2 T flour
1 T fresh thyme, or dried equivalent
1 1/2 t salt
3/4 t pepper
2 lb. potatoes (new red, or yukon gold are best, but any work)
1 lb. yellow squash
6 t olive oil

Wash and slice the potatoes and squash into 1/8" slices. Set aside 1/4 c of the green onions. Mix together the rest of the green onions, cheese, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. In a large, greased, casserole dish layer 1/6 of the potatoes, slightly overlapping them. Then layer 1/4 of the squash. Drizzle with 1 t olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/6 of the cheese mix.
Repeat those layers. Cover and bake at 375' for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender. Uncover, sprinkle on the reserved green onions, and bake another 25 minutes. (I usually sprinkle a bit of cheese on with the onions for the last 25 minutes)

Spicy Pickled Squash

8 c yellow squash, sliced or diced
2 c onion, sliced or diced
1 T salt
1/2 c each green and red bell pepper
2 c cider vinegar
3 1/2 c sugar
1 t celery seed
1 t mustard seed
1/4 c green chilis and/or jalapenos if desired

Mix the squash and onions, sprinkle with salt and let stand 1 hour. Add everything else and bring to a boil. Pack in jars and water bath for 15 minutes. (Slice the veggies if you want to eat this as a side dish, or dice them if you want a relish


Grilled Summer Veggies

Slice equal parts yellow squash and zuchini (don't peel them or they fall apart on the grill).
Slice half that amount of onions and bell peppers.

Put foil on the grill, coat it with olive oil, and pour the veggies on in as single layer as you can. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash, Seasoning Salt, Garlic Herb blend, or whatever seasoning blend is your families favorite. As veggies brown, remove them.

I cut up both yellow squash and zuccini squash and add it to chili at the last minute so it's just cooked tender crisp. Mmmm.
Hey, don't knock it until you try it.

i had to giggle when i read the title of this one. being a "Yankee" but living in the south, i tend to get rather defensive when something is labeled as Yankee.

in the above reciepe, if you took out the bell pepper and split the squash evenly into yellow and zuchinni, that is the exact recipe my mom used to make!! it was the only way she could get us to eat squash as kids.

also, this recipe freezes well (especially for squash). mom would make a batch and split it into 2 loaf pans and freeze them - pulling one out as a dinner side dish later in the year. man, that stuff is awesome!!!

this recipe get two "Yankee" thumbs up!

[Charlene]

3 yellow crookneck squash, seeded and chopped or in 1/4" slices
1 large onion, chopped
8 oz frozen corn, thawed
1/2 C butter
salt
pepper

Saute the onion in the butter until almost translucent. Add the squash and saute until tender. Add the thawed corn and heat through. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook to desired doneness.

We like it to start to carmalize a bit. Also yummy with some lima beans added in.
