Yum! Yum! - sounds like a Paula Deen original! Anything with a tub of sour cream & a stick of butter has to be good!

Please don't tell my Dr. I'm going to try this! We'll just tell her I've been eating lots of vegetables! :notme:

Pianoman,

Let me know what you think after you've tried it.

And my absolute favorite: slice thinly, place in skillet with butter, salt and pepper. Saute until just browned.

Like eating candy. :Terrific:

Tracy and others, this is my way of fixing green bean from a jar or a can. First I put them in a pan, add some fat back, I know it not good for you,but most of my granparents died from 70's to 103 years, one great granma @ 113, so I will take chances with fat back,

well any way take a potato and cut into about 3/4 in size pc. and add to beans. Cover with enough water to a loud the taters to cook tender, then cook all the water out of the beans. When they begain to sizzle, put some on a plate with some country fried taters with some boiled pork, a helping of greens cooked with fat back, corn bread, onion, and a glass of tea.

Buttermilk will do instead of tea. $\:D/$

Does anyone have any good squash recipes?

Yep...I've had many squash casseroles, but this one is the bomb! This is the only way all 4 of my kids eat squash.

2 lbs. yellow squash sliced about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bring to a boil in salted water and boil for 20 minutes. Drain well.

To that add 1 diced onion, 1 grated carrot, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 16 oz. sour cream and 1 stick melted butter. Mix well.

Line a 13 x 9 with 1/2 of a small bag of peppridge farm herb stuffing crumbs. (don't use the cubes..used the crushed)

Pour squash mixture in and smooth over. Pour rest of bag of stuffing crumbs and smooth out. Bake in preheated 350 oven for about 45 minutes or until stuffing crumbs are brown.

I promise you will thank me!

I'm telling y'all, we need a forum for recipes so I don't have to remember what thread I saw them in!

Trying this tonight, Shellie!

Give us a review! I've been wanting to try it - but
have been attending a revival all week & haven't
done much cooking (unless it was out of a box!)

I'm still wanting to try the "frog eye" thing as well if
I can ever find that funky pasta that goes in it!

About how many squash (squashes? squish?) would make two pounds?

Twice as many as one pound of squash. :roll:

It's really going to depend on how big they are (and actually
how dense they are). Shellie can probably give you a better
idea - but most likely you'd want enough slices to fill up
at least 1/2 of a 9 x 13 pan without all the other ingredients
in it?

LOL! Why didn't I think of that! It's a blonde day... perhaps I shouldn't be cooking today. :lol:

It was excellent!

I couldn't find the crushed stuffing mix at the store I went to, so I got seasoned bread crumbs instead. But it was AWESOME!

My husband sat down to eat and asked, "What is this?" I said, "Is it good?" He said, "Yeah!"
"It's squash casserole."
"It's SQUASH!?!"

My 19 month old loved it too. :-)

Thumbs up from our household!

I have a squash pie that is great...I'm out-of-town until Sunday night, I will post when I get back home.

Glad you liked it, A2Jgirl. It's the only way my kids will eat squash.

I made it today and loved it. I sent the recipe to my Mom and she is going to make it as well. She told me to email her as to how I liked it. Five stars, thanks Shellie.

Tracy and others; I thought that I would share some pictures we took of my bean patch. These are two rows about 80 feet long. On about 1/3 of one side I picked two five gallon buckets. Can 21 quarts and two big messes for supper out of those two bucket. Also picked liking about two or three inches from top of five gallow bucket hot pepper.

My four year old TW horse stallon was in the area so my wife took his picture, he's my big baby. Beside riding him I also work him some in the garden.
