Ingredients

3 pounds yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
0.75 cup dry bread crumbs
0.5 cup chopped onion
2 large eggs
0.5 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients for the baked yellow squash.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish for the casserole.
Place the squash in a large saucepan, cover it with water, and bring to a boil. Boil until the squash is soft, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Thoroughly drain the squash, then transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Mash the squash until it is slightly chunky.
Stir in 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, onion, eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, sugar, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
Spread the squash mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is cooked through and golden brown on top, which should take about 1 hour.
