I make this pretty dish with squash from my garden. It has a delicious, crunchy topping.

Ingredients

1 cup mashed cooked acorn or butternut squash
1/2 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers, divided
4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the squash, 1/4 cup cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons butter, egg, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.
Pour into a greased 2-1/2-cup baking dish. Combine remaining crumbs and butter; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
