   5      pounds        yellow squash -- medium size
   2                    eggs -- beaten
   1      cup           cracker crumbs
   2      tablespoons   chopped onions
     1/2  cup           butter or margarine -- softened
     1/4  cup           sugar
                        salt and pepper -- to taste
                        additional cracker crumbs for topping

Trim ends of squash and cut into large pieces. Drop squash into a large 
saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to boil, reduce heat 
and cook until tender (ten minutes, at most). Drain in a colander, then 
mash. In a large mixing bowl, combine squash with eggs, bread crumbs, 
onion, butter, sugar, salt and pepper.  Turn into a 3 quart casserole 
which has been lightly greased or sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray.  
Cover with a light layer of cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees until 
lightly browned. 

Makes 10 servings.

Variation:  Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese and 1 jalapeno pepper, 
diced.
