Ingredients:

Serving

3 lb christophene, peeled, seeded and cut into cubes (can substitute chayote or any summer squash)
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup grated monterey jack or cheddar cheese, plus 1 cup, for topping
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped celery
2 tsp prepared mustard
2 tbsp sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Slowly whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is creamy and thick.

Add the onion, garlic, salt, celery, mustard and sugar to the sauce and mix well. Remove the sauce from heat and pour over the christophene in the baking dish. Stir everything together, then top with the remainig 1 cup grated cheese.
Place the mixture in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
