Black-Eyed Pea Baked Squash

5 lb. med.-size yellow squash
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 to 2 C. bread crumbs (see note)
4 oz. (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/4 C. sugar
Salt to taste
2 Tbsp. chopped onion
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut off tips of squash, then cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces. Drop squash into a lrg. saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to a boil, reduce heat and cook until tender. Drain squash in colander, then place in a lrg. bowl and mash.

Stir in eggs, crumbs, butter, sugar, salt, onion and pepper. Spoon mixture into a 3-qt. casserole that has been lightly prepared or coated with canola oil spray. Sprinkle a light layer of bread crumbs on top. Bake until lightly browned, 30 to 40 min.

Makes approximately 12 servings.

NOTE: Best if made with Black-Eyed Pea\s whole-wheat rolls - about 3 needed - plus more for topping.
