How to Make Baked Squash Casserole From Black Eyed Pea

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Drain the squash well and mash until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mashed squash, black-eyed peas, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, salt, onion, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. If using, stir in the cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let cool slightly before serving.
