Creamy Squash Casserole


Submitted by babydollsea_

Makes 6 servings

This is now my favorite squash casserole. I don't care much for recipes that are thickened with eggs. They taste too much like quiche to me and have a scrambled egg-like texture. The flavor of the sauce reminds of Campbell's Cream of Celery soup

Ingredients
4 medium yellow squash, cut into half moons, about 1 1/2 pounds before trimming
1 small onion, slivered, 2 1/2 ounces
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/4 cup Hellman's Light mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded *
Directions
  1. Sauté the onion and celery in the butter along with the chicken bouillon granules until the celery and onion are very soft and a little browned, about 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the squash in boiling water (or microwave) until tender; drain very well and pat as dry as possible.

  3. Combine all of the ingredients in a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole or 6x8" baking dish.

  4. Bake at 350º, uncovered, 30 minutes or until nicely browned and bubbly.
