Hubby's absolute favorite comfort food. I do not slice the squash; typically I use zucchini, and employ a chopper that dices into narrow rectangles; I do cheat and use a can of chopped jalapenos instead of fresh;and when out of crackers I have used Italian bread crumbs (with a light spritz of butter spray) with equal success. But the combination suggested for the casserole is perfect. I am nervous, but I am going to try to double the recipe for a potluck-- wish me luck!

Made this several times, and have never had the trouble others noted with burning/overcooking/dryness...now I am wondering if it is because each time I use egg substitute instead of cracking a dozen eggs? (I'm a lazy cook!)...maybe the more liquid/fluid nature of the EggBeaters helps permeate the other ingredients? Still tastes great! I do add a full 2 cups of cheese, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. For this morning, I prepped one crock pot with sweet Italian sausage and a bit of onion and regular eggbeaters...in the other, red and green peppers, onions, fresh mushrooms, and southwestern style eggbeaters. I love, love the breakfast burrito idea--this is how we serve them every time! (build-yer-own, with small flour or whole wheat tortillas, salsa, green salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, and tobasco as desired). Family/Friend Fave!

AWESOME! Was looking for a mac salad to accompany a dish modeled after a famous local eatery--a deep-fried half chicken liberally doused in the restaurant's signature "Sassy Sauce"--the "bird" is placed atop two slices of white bread, with mac salad on the side to cool off your taste buds off between bites. This mac salad was not too mayonaiss-y... it was tart yet sweet; perfect. Would not change a thing (except next time I will maybe add more celery and/or red bell pepper!) It was great combined with the "birds" but would be a super side dish with any picnic-style fare. It lives up to its name: CLASSIC...
