Country Club Squash Casserole

This recipe is easy to prepare and so delicious that it warrants country club status.

2 lbs yellow squash, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup water
8 oz sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried whole basil
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon paprika
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (I prefer turkey bacon)

Cook squash and onion in 1/2 cup boiling water until tender; drain and mash. Combine squash, sour cream, salt, pepper, and basil; pour into a greased 2-quart casserole.

In separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, cheese, butter, and paprika; sprinkle over squash mixture. Top with bacon. Bake at 300 for 20 minutes.
