It's really simple, healthy, and my kids will eat it, so that makes it pretty much perfect!
6 yellow squash
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. plus ground pepper
1 T. sugar
1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1 T. minced onion
Wash and slice squash into thin rings and place in steamer basket on stovetop. Steam until tender.
Using a potato masher, mash squash in a collander over the sink. (The squash will be watery and this drains the water off as you mash it.)
Put squash in a bowl and add salt, pepper, sugar, cheese, and onion. Mix until cheese melts.
Voila! Serves 4.

If kids will eat it then chances are I will eat it. Squash is a beautiful thing.
YUM!!!! Amy, that sounds awesome!
You were first! I'm so proud ;-)
I've got one child that won't eat squash and one that won't eat cheese. It sounds delish to me, but I'd have to prepare a small amount for a "just hubby and me" night. Which I will!
Wish I didn't hate squash...however my hubby and child enjoy it so maybe I'll give this a try.
Yum!
One of my favorite side dishes in summer is to saute fresh squash and zucchini with onion and some rosemary.
p.s. love your new Twitter avatar...tres appropriate for summer!
This sounds fantastic!
I wish my husband would eat stuff like that! It looks delicious!!

When I read the title I nearly puked. Squash in Britain is a concentrated drink you add water to. Maybe you call it a cordial?
What are the squash you are on about? Sorry to be a lemon (crap pun I know)
rubbish - how is it that you want to puke but mo. over here is from Britain and thinks squash is beautiful?
Yum! that looks really good - and something different too.
Mo has been hanging around with you American Moms for a lot longer than me and has probably picked up the colloquialisms. Either that or he's just being nice but thinking exactly the same thing as I am.
Thanks Amy! I have 9 squash sitting on my counter and no time for a casserole.
I never knew the trick about mashing in the steamer basket, either.
rubbish - heh.
Meredith - You're welcome! It's so easy and so good it's a keeper for sure.
I'm making it for my kids tonight! Thanks.
