Squash Casserole

Description

Standard Southern treatment for yellow squash - delicious comfort food. It takes one "sleeve" of saltine crackers to make up the 1 1/2 cups of crushed saltines - depending on how finely you crush them and pack them down this amount may vary a bit. The recipe form won't let me put in "one sleeve of saltines", but that is the amount to use. Some people like a lot of pepper in their squash - if you like things less spicy I'd stick with the 1/2 teaspoon amount.
