This recipe is easy to throw together! I halved the ingredients, except the egg (used a whole egg still). I also caramelized my diced onion before adding to the casserole. In addition, I used a pepper jack cheese blend for some spice and added extra crackers to the top before cooking. Pretty tasty and fit right in my toaster oven for cooking ease! Thank you for posting.

My kind of recipe! The ingredients are few and simple which lets the squash be the star. It's comfort food at it's best. I changed the serving size to feed 4 and the ingredient amounts came out perfect, except I added one whole egg. I cooked the squash to "not quite soft", since the bake time was so long and I wanted the squash to not be mushy. The flavor was excellent, and the cracker crumbs on top was a nice contrast to the soft squash. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I will defnately use it again!
