CROOKED NECK SQUASH CASSEROLE

I got some Crook Neck Squash and I did not know what to do with it other then to put it in stir fry so I found this recipe on www.cooks.com. I'll let you know how it turns out- talk about taking something healthy and making it really loaded with calories!!! :)

2 lbs. squash, cut up
1 med. onion, cut up
1 tbsp. sugar
Salt to taste
1/2 cube butter
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. Ritz crackers
1 egg

Boil first 4 ingredients until soft, drain. Then mash with 1/2 cube butter. Add the milk, crackers, egg to squash mix. Place in greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Grate 1 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until cheese melts.
