I can remember not liking squash at all when I was younger. Now I love fresh squash steamed with onions or other wonderful colorful veggies. Today we will be having a squash casserole.
Isn't this the cutest frog with tiny frog

Cute little thing.
The little frog is for letting out steam but the instructions say this little frog is for good luck!

Squash Casserole
2 Lb. Squash Salt & Pepper to taste
1 egg 1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup sour cream 1 can mushroom soup
1 c Ritz cracker crumbs 1 c grated cheddar cheese
Wash and slice squash, then place into a saucepan. Add salt, pepper and onion. Cover with water. Bring to boil and cook until vegetables are tender. Drain in colander and place in a large mixing bowl. Add to this soup, sour cream, egg and cheese. Stir to mix. Pour into a 2 1/2 quart greased casserole dish. Top with cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, until bubble around edges and slightly browned.
I used a little more cheese to put on top of casserole then cracker crumbs...It is pretty good.
Fried Pork Chops
Center cut pork chops, seasoned salt, black pepper, flour to dredge
oil, enough to cover the bottom in electric frying pan
Preheat to 375 degrees
Wash and dry thoroughly the pork chops
season with salt and pepper on both sides
dredge in flour
fry in electric frying pan for best results.
Cover to cook until you begin to see edges turn light brown, test to see if you can turn them. It is too soon is your flour is coming off chop. It should turn freely when ready. It will be lightly browned. Turn and cook this side will cook faster and brown beautifully. Cook until golden brown . Drain on paper towels.. Serve warm.
Not the healthiest menu around but once in awhile it is sooooo good.
Dixie Lee Peas
I put a small piece of salt pork..or fat back as we call it here in the South in a little bit of water.
(you could use chicken broth, or a bouillon cube if you prefer).
Cover let this boil for a few minutes at least 5.
Add frozen or fresh if in season quart of Dixie Lee Peas.
Bring to boil then turn down to simmer cover with lid.
These are better if you simmer them for a long time but good either way.
Add salt to taste
Remove salt pork and serve.
