Hi Michael,
Thanks.
Your Pics made me hungry.
SO I Just whipped up a casserole for 4 people I intend to eat all by MYSELF. With no danger of wgt gain.
This works SO WELL - I get phone calls from all over for the recipe.
DIRECTIONS:
Ingredients:
3 or 4 yellow onions
3 or 4 yellow or zuchini squash
4 American cheese slices
2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
A Big Bowl of some kind
Aluminum foil enough to cover the Casserole dish
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Grease a 2 inch deep casserole dish. (I use virgin olive oil)
Slice 3 medium yellow onions into rounds 1/4 inch thick. Toss into the bowl.
Slice 3 Yellow or Zuchini Squash into 1/4 inch thick rounds too. Put into the bowl too.
#1 - Pull the rounds from the bowl. Alternate the onions and squash in layers. Lay one layer of onions Rounds on the bttm of the casserole dish. Then a layer of Squash rounds.
#2 - THEN another layer of Onion rounds.
#3 - Then tear two slices of cheese into 4 pieces. Put the 8 pieces over the 1st 3 layers.
#4 - Then do another 2 or 3 layers of squash and onions until you are at the Top of the sides of the Casserole dish. Then use 2 more slices of Cheese on top
#5 - Lastly tear or shred up 2 or 3 slices of whole wheat bread. To make make-shift bread crumbs. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top. And down in the cracks btwn the onions and squash.
#6 - Cover with the aluminum foil to prevent burning.
#7 - Bake for an hour. Sometimes an hr and a half. Stick a knife into the squash and onions. When the knife goes in like a hot knife thru butter. It's DONE.
===============
ACTION SUMMARY:
IF you can't eat Dairy products. You can use Soy Cheese. I don't like the taste. Instead, try browning a 3 onions in a pan with olive oil. Mix them in instead of the cheese for Extra Flavor.
IF you can't eat Wheat. Go to the Whole Foods store near you. Get some SPELT bread. No wheat flour.
Thanks,
Glenn

I've been skimming cookbooks for 20 years looking for recipes that equal this one (Above) in speed and ease of cooking. And simple ingredients.
With no success.
Which is why I stuck the source of this Recipe into my latest BOOK LIST:
