Recently a reader sent me 3 recipes she said came from Black Eyed Pea's.
Now i'll be honest -- I was a bit confused. The only Black-Eyed Peas I know is the one with Fergie.
So I looked it up. Appearantly it's a chain based in Texas. It has about 20 locations in Eastern Texas and only two outside of Texas. One in Colorado and, weirdly, one in Henderson, Tennessee. Now I am not likely to get to Eastern Texas or Colorado very often -- but I'm down around Henderson quite a bit (I have friends and many, many relatives who live in Southern Kentucky and the Nashville area.) So I think I may try Black Eyed Pea's out next time I am down.
In the meantime here is the first of the recipes. The others will follow.
Black-Eyed Pea's Baked Squash
Ingredients
5 pounds medium-size yellow squash
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs plus additional bread crumbs for topping
1 stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped onion
Dash of pepper
Directions
1. Cut tips off squash and cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces.
2. Drop squash into a large saucepan with enough boiling water to cover.
3. Return to boil, reduce heat and cook until tender.
4. Drain in colander and mash.
5. Combine with beaten eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs, butter, sugar, salt, onion and pepper.
6. Turn into 3-quart casserole that has been lightly greased or sprayed with nonstick spray.
7. Cover with light layer of bread crumbs.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
