Butternut Squash Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs squash (preferably butternut)
    1 tablespoon sugar (can substitute with Splenda)
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup onion, chopped
    1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
    1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
    1 egg, beaten
    1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup melted margarine
    salt & pepper
    6 ounces of herb flavored croutons, set aside for topping
Preparation
    Cook squash and drain. (I actually cut the butternut squash in half and bake it in the oven on a cookie sheet if time allows; cover with tinfoil to keep it moist.).
    Mix other ingredients together and gently fold in cooked squash.
    Pour into greased 9\" x 13\" casserole dish.
    Top with crushed cracker crumbs or croutons which have been buttered with cooking oil (use Herbed or Italian seasoned croutons for more flavor).
    Bake 45 minute @ 350 degrees.
