This is a Summer Regular on our table. I prepare differently -- steam the squash and a large- rough chopped onion. Then I scatter croutons in an oven-proof bowl, add the squash mix, top with grated cheddar, and cover with foil. Place in 350* oven for just long enought to melt the cheese, and serve. Happy to see it here -- Thanks for posting.

Great recipe. Used 1/2 the amount of salt.

The seasoning amounts on this recipe are WAY TOO MUCH! Even if you were using a large squash, 2 tsp of salt! ACH! Gives me high blood pressure just thinking about it! The pepper and onion powder are also too high!

I'm 69 and just learning to cook. Since I don't fry things very well. I like the idea of steaming the squash and then baking it. But I don't know how to "steam" things and I don't know if I have the equipment or what equipment I need to steam things. Thanks for you comments NurseJaney.<br/><br/>timoo7
