SQUASH RING WITH GREEN BEANS

[Guest guest]

SQUASH RING WITH GREEN BEANS

 

1 medium (3-4 pound) spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise

1 (7 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup evaporated milk

8 ounces Jack cheese, shredded

Salt and pepper, to taste

French-style green beans, cooked and buttered (for serving)

 

To Cook the squash:

In oven: Place squash halves, cut-side down, in large baking dish

With about 1/4-inch of water. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until done,

At 375 degrees.

 

Or, microwave: Puncture squash several times with fork to help

Release steam. Place squash halves, cut-side down, in microwaveable

Dish with about 1/4-inch water. Cover loosely and microwave on high

(100%) for about 20 minutes or until done, rotating about every 10

Minutes.

 

TO PREPARE THE SQUASH:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Well-grease an 8-cup ring mold.

 

Remove from oven or microwave and let cool. Scrape out seeds. Take 2

Forks and scrape out the interior of the squash - it will separate

Into spaghetti-like strands. Measure 4 cups squash.

 

Combine squash, corn, butter or margarine, bread crumbs, eggs,

Evaporated milk, cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix lightly

But thoroughly. Pour into prepared ring mold and place in larger pan

With about 1-inch of hot water.

 

Bake 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool slightly.

 

Unmold onto platter and place cooked green beans in center.
