Ingredients

　　1 large stockpot of water

　　1 large butternut squash, quartered

　　1 teaspoon salt plus additional to taste

　　1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

　　One 4-ounce can chopped green chilies

　　1/2 cup whole-wheat cracker crumbs

　　2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

　　3 large eggs, beaten

　　1 cup low-fat milk

　　1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

　　Ground black pepper to taste

　　Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the squash and 1 teaspoon salt and boil until fork tender in the center, about 20 minutes. Drain, peel the squash, and cut into slices less than 1/4-inch-thick. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, chilies, cracker crumbs, cheese, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Fold in the squash. Scrape into a 3-quart ovenproof casserole dish, cover, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for about 10 minutes more, until browned on top.
