Squash Casserole

Taken from A Taste of Georgia. Originally titled Squash Casserole I; there are six in the cookbook. This one "freezes well" which was a must for my grandmother.

2 to 3 cups cooked squash
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 stick margarine, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1 to 1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs, divided
Dash cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper

Put well drained, hot squash in large mixing bowl. Add egg, margarine, sugar, half the cheese, and half the cracker crumbs. Season with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients well. Put into buttered
 1 1/2 quart casserole and top with remaining cheese and cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
